Flexiquals

Flexiquals is a term made up of Flexible and Qualifications. The idea of flexiquals is to allow you to undertake subjects of your choice and be awarded credits for each subject that you complete. The credits can be added together and when you have sufficient credits you can use them to apply for a qualification.

Flexiquals, as discussed here, are organised in 3 levels and have both an Award structure and Certificate structure. Because it is a credit based system it provides a flexible route for you to gain a qualification.

Here is a table showing the credits required at each level:


Qualification Minimum Credits Maximum Credits
Award Level 1 9 12
Certificate Level 1 13 16
Certificate Level 2 13 20
Award Level 3 12 18
Certificate Level 3 25 30

With flexiquals you can achieve a qualification by undertaking subjects which are best suited to your requirements or likes. You do not have to take subjects that are not relevant to you just to gain a qualification. For each subject that you complete you are awarded credits. You simply add the credits together and when you have the minimum required, or more, then you can have the qualification. There are certain combinations structured to go together but it is quite flexible in allowing you to choose your subjects.

Here is a table showing subjects, their level and the credits awarded for each:
