Consultation into Regulating Basic Digital Skills Qualifications

by | 0 comments

Ofqual has launched a consultation on how it proposes to regulate new Basic Digital Skills Qualifications (BDSQs), which form part of the government’s plans to improve adult basic digital skills. The consultation seeks views on the qualifications’ defining characteristics, including their design, delivery and awarding, and on Ofqual’s proposed approach to maintaining standards. The consultation closes on 13 January 2019.

The Department for Education is consulting on plans to improve basic digital skills training for adults and on new national standards for basic digital skills. BDSQs will align with these standards.
