We're calling on the next Welsh Government to develop a coherent post-16 vision and a system; use existing powers to develop a means to deliver and regulate Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications; carry out a review of Qualifications Wales and its responsibilities; provide access to student finance for Level 4 and Level 5 programmes; introduce a more flexible system of learning and qualifications that is not based on variations of 35 week/1 or 2 year programmes; and make it easier for smaller units of learning, rather than full qualifications, to be recognised, portable, and for learners to be able to build these over time.
