Welcome to ABC awards

ABC Awards Qualifications Fees 2009 - 2010

Fees below are applicable for the 2009-10 academic year.

Information regarding other applicable ABC Awards Fees

Qualification Fees

The fee for QCF accredited qualifications is based upon achievement of the minimum credit target for that qualification and includes a standard moderation fee. 

The fee for NQF accredited qualifications is based upon the level and number of units and includes a standard moderation fee and external assessment fee where applicable

Unit Fees

The fee charged for a QCF unit will depend upon its credit value and is charged per credit (CPC).  If learners are registered onto an ABC QCF qualification (which includes a moderation fee), claims for additional credits will incur only the charge for additional credits.  If learners are registered onto units only, a moderation fee will be charged in addition to the appropriate credit charges.

The fee charged for a NQF unit is determined upon the number of units required to complete the qualification.  If learners are registered onto an ABC NQF qualification (which includes a moderation fee), claims for additional units will incur only the charge for additional units.  If learners are registered onto units only, a moderation fee will be charged in addition to the published unit charges.  (Any external assessment fees are built into the unit fee.)

ABC's standard moderation and credit fees for 2009/10 are £15 moderation fee and £2 credit fee.

CPC = Unit fees 'Charged per Credit'.

ABC Gains Ofqual Recogition as a QCF Awarding Organisation

ABC has been fully recognised by Ofqual as a QCF awarding organisation. This means that it is now able to extend the accreditation life of current QCF qualifications beyond December 2010. ABC will be working with relevant SSCs to extend all current QCF provision as quickly as possible.

All new qualifications will be recognised for the QCF and will be approved beyond December 2010. ABC intends to replace the majority of its remaining NQF qualifications with updated provision on the QCF as soon as possible. All plans are subject to SSC approval and timescales. Posted 4.2.10

Counselling Qualifications Update

ABC’s Counselling qualifications have an accreditation end date of 31st December 2010.

We have been engaged with Skills for Health (the Sector Skills Council responsible for Counselling) for the past 12 months concerning the transition of counselling qualifications to the new Qualifications and Credit framework.

They have been conducting research looking at the Counselling landscape, its terms, its scope etc. and the potential for identifying learning pathways.  These pathways might equate to a career development plan for individuals wishing to study toward full specialist areas of counselling with stepping off points to roles along that pathway.  To help us in this endeavour the SSC engaged Consultants whose remit is to produce a report late December 2009.

Customised Provision

Throughout 2009/2010 ABC will be reviewing its accredited and customised provision and migrating suitable provision onto the new Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).   Provision that is not suitable for migration onto the QCF will be required to be updated in accordance with current approval requirements, and submitted for re-approval.

The approval period for all current ABC Customised Provision Programmes will therefore end on 31st December 2010. Centres offering Customised Provision Programmes will be contacted individually in due course. Posted 26.8.09
