So today I submitted the assessment paperwork for a new qualification that I am now required to have to do something that I've been doing for the last twenty years under another qualification. To make it more interesting I still have to have the old qualification to use the new qualification.
At a webinar last week we were informed that as of 25 November 2020, 859 people have attended a workshop for this qualification and there were 100 more to go through a workshop before the end of the year.
Of those 859 people 143 have submitted assessments for marking
116 people have had a result returned for their assessment
27 assessments are currently out with the assessors for marking
46 people have passed the assessment
This is 39.6% of people who have submitted an assessment from beginning of the assessment introduction. The percentage of those who have passed since the marking schedule was introduced (and supplied to applicants) has climbed overall to 46%.
The qualification was announced late December last year in the run up to Christmas in an industry wide email from the regulator, but you only saw it if you clicked on the link at the bottom of the email that contained a whole lot of other info then read the newsletter in the link (excellent communications!!). Most people actually found out about it in February/March and then had to actually get on a workshop. I then had the added complication, as I work for a consultant, I had to wait until one of my contractors was doing a job sufficiently "complex" to be suitable for assessment, plan it for them, wait for them to do it, then submit for assessment.
