Detail of outcome

We have decided to set Terms of Reference which reflect those we proposed. We have made 2 small changes, unconnected to our proposals, which are to confirm that the EPRS will accept applications for Project qualifications at all levels, not just Level 3, and in respect of any in-scope qualification which was awarded to a learner in the UK and not, as the draft suggested, only learners in England.

Detail of feedback received

We received 7 responses to our public consultation.
