You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, Section 145 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 25 December 2024.

(1)A recognised body may only award or authenticate a particular form of a qualification in respect of which it is recognised if Condition 1 or 2 is met.

(3)Condition 2 is met if—
(a)the recognised body determines that the qualification is relevant for 2008 Act purposes, and
(b)the body assigns to the particular form of the qualification a number of hours of guided learning.
(4)Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a qualification which is a Northern Ireland-only qualification.
(5)A recognised body must apply the applicable criteria then in force under section 146 when determining—
(a)whether or not a qualification is relevant for 2008 Act purposes, and
(b)in respect of a qualification which the body has determined is relevant for those purposes, a number of hours of guided learning to assign to a form of the qualification.
(6)If revised criteria come into force under section 146, a recognised body must review any determination it has made under this section.
(7)Ofqual may—

(b)require the recognised body to revise any such determination in such respects as Ofqual may specify.
(8)If under subsection (7)(b) Ofqual requires a recognised body to revise a determination that a qualification is not relevant for 2008 Act purposes by specifying that the determination should provide that the qualification is so relevant—
(a)Ofqual may assign to a form of the qualification awarded or authenticated by the recognised body a number of hours of guided learning, and
(b)if it does so, the recognised body is to be treated as having determined to assign that number of hours of guided learning to that form of the qualification.
(9)For the purposes of this Chapter a qualification is relevant for 2008 Act purposes if there are, or may reasonably be expected to be, persons seeking to obtain the qualification for the purposes of discharging the duty under section 2(1)(c) of the Education and Skills Act 2008 (c. 25) (duty to participate in education or training).
(10)In this Chapter a “number of hours of guided learning”, in relation to a form of a qualification, means a number of notional hours representing an estimate of the amount of actual guided learning which could reasonably be expected to be required in order for persons to achieve the standard required to obtain that form of the qualification.
