Summary

Additional rules and guidance for Essential Digital Skills Qualifications

This document sets out additional rules and guidance for awarding organisations offering Essential Digital Skills Qualifications.

We have developed these rules and guidance with the intention that Essential Digital Skills Qualifications should fulfil the following purposes:

  • to enable learners to develop the digital skills they need for life, work, or further study as set out in the National Standards for Essential Digital Skills
  • to provide reliable evidence of learners’ attainment in relation to the National Standards for Essential Digital Skills

They build on, and should be read alongside, our rules and guidance for all regulated qualifications.
