Is this the right qualification for your provider?
New provider suitability: Cautious unless the provider already has the relevant staff, facilities, and practical access. Established provider suitability: Stronger, especially where the provider already delivers in technology. Facility pressure: Facilities should include computer access, connectivity, software environments, secure learner accounts, and practical assessment conditions. Equipment pressure: Equipment planning should cover computers, software, cloud or lab access, connectivity, backup arrangements, and secure storage of learner evidence. Staff pressure: Facilitators need current technical competence and the ability to evaluate practical output, not only attendance or screenshots. Workplace/practical pressure: Workplace or project evidence should show applied technical work, with clear versioning, review, and assessment records.
