The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Qualification (IfATE) is pleased to announce details of the fourth cycle of its Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) approvals process. The government announced plans in 2020 to improve level 4 and 5 qualifications and make it far easier for employers and learners to identify which training programmes are high quality and meet their skills needs.
A key way of doing this will be through HTQs. These approved qualifications will be set apart from other qualifications by a government backed quality mark.
The quality mark will only be granted when Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) panels of industry experts are confident the qualification meets the Institute’s criteria, and will deliver the knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) employers really need.
