Ofqual has commissioned Pye Tait Consulting to conduct research into what learning providers and learners think about vocational qualifications, in order to help Ofqual understand how best to meet employer needs. The focus of the research is on Vocational and Technical Qualifications (VTQs) typically, but not exclusively, NVQs.

They are requesting help from both learning providers and learners, by asking them to complete one of two short online surveys entitled Perceptions of Vocational and Technical Qualifications.  

The survey for learning providers can be accessed here and the survey for learners can be accessed here.

Both surveys should take around five minutes to complete. All information and feedback provided will be treated confidentially.

There is no restriction on the numbers of entries received from each provider, so please encourage your colleagues and learners to complete the surveys in order to help Ofqual in its drive to improve vocational training provision.

The survey cut-off date is Friday 15^th February.
