The new diploma site is now up and running. Students may log in here to get to the learning platform.

The Diploma is a new qualification that combines theoretical study with practical experience and is part of the 14-19 Reform Programme being rolled out over the next five years.

 

The Reform Programme is designed to equip young people for the fast changing world they are growing up in. The reforms offer exciting choices and opportunities to equip young people properly for adult life and help them enjoy a brighter future.

 

GCSEs and A levels are also being updated and the number of Apprenticeships is being increased. Taken together, these changes will mean that all young people can choose a qualification which suits their interests and learning style.

 

The introduction of the Diploma is part of this national programme.

 

Diplomas will cover 17 subjects, or lines of learning, and will be available in areas across the country by 2011.
