Qualification Aim<br />
Building upon research conducted<br />
by James Reed and Paul Stoltz (PhD),<br />
these qualifications provide learners<br />
with the knowledge needed to<br />
identify a programme <strong>of</strong> study that<br />
is aligned to clearly defined, realistic<br />
job goals.<br />
Learners will understand how to<br />
organise their study time effectively<br />
and how to overcome personal<br />
challenges to study. They will<br />
understand those key mindset<br />
qualities that are valued most by<br />
employers and will make a plan to<br />
develop and exhibit these. This is<br />
proven to triple a learner’s chances <strong>of</strong><br />
securing and keeping the best jobs.<br />

Qualification Aim<br />
These qualifications are designed to<br />
equip learners with the mindset and<br />
skills they need to find and secure<br />
the right job for them. “There is clear<br />
evidence that if learners have the<br />
correct mindset they are far more<br />
likely to be attractive to employers.<br />
In a recent global survey <strong>of</strong> 1,264<br />
employers conducted by REED, 97%<br />
put mindset ahead <strong>of</strong> skill set when<br />
recruiting. In a further groundbreaking<br />
study <strong>of</strong> 30,000 CVs (comparing<br />
successful CVs against unsuccessful<br />
CVs), REED found that demonstrating<br />
your mindset in action on your CV<br />
‘tripled your chances <strong>of</strong> getting and<br />
keeping’ the best job.” (Source: Put<br />
Your Mindset To Work by James Reed<br />
and Paul Stoltz PhD, 2011).<br />

Qualification Aim<br />
These qualifications are designed<br />
to assist those who wish either to<br />
set up a business enterprise or work<br />
within the UK music industry. They<br />
deal with all aspects <strong>of</strong> the music<br />
industry within this context and<br />
allow learners to gradually build up<br />
their own plan for managing a music<br />
business enterprise.<br />
The qualifications are aimed at those<br />
individuals who are starting out in<br />
the music industry, whether it be as<br />
a performer, a song-writer, an artist<br />
manager, a promoter or <strong>book</strong>ing<br />
agent, or someone looking to start<br />
a small record label or publishing<br />
company. The UK music industry<br />
is largely made up <strong>of</strong> such SMEs.<br />
However, there’s limited training<br />
available for such individuals to allow<br />
them to have a more thorough and<br />
targeted understanding <strong>of</strong> both the<br />
industry itself and how to manage a<br />
business enterprise specific to the<br />
music industry.<br />
Qualification Structure<br />
This qualification consists <strong>of</strong> 13 units.<br />
To be awarded the Certificate,<br />
learners must successfully complete<br />
5 units.<br />
To be awarded the Diploma, learners<br />
must successfully complete all units.<br />
• Unit 06 Artist management<br />
companies in the music industry<br />
• Unit 07 Live music, promotion<br />

For those students on a Study Programme,<br />
where an employability qualifi cation isn’t<br />
always necessary, we have developed<br />
a range <strong>of</strong> online learning programmes<br />
and resources that provide the learning<br />
without the extra requirements <strong>of</strong> doing a<br />
qualifi cation. These programmes are split<br />
into manageable modules covering all the<br />
aspects <strong>of</strong> looking, preparing and working for a<br />
job. These high quality, pr<strong>of</strong>essional modules<br />
can help you support the development <strong>of</strong><br />
a student’s employability skills through our<br />
bespoke LMS and ensure they have the best<br />
possible chance <strong>of</strong> gaining employment at<br />
the end <strong>of</strong> their course.<br />
Isn’t it time you gave your learners the<br />
REED NCFE competitive advantage?<br />
“The REED NCFE work ethic,<br />
diligence and honesty are<br />
admirable qualities and not <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
have I worked with a company<br />
whom I could put 100% trust in;<br />
to get the job done to a high<br />
standard and in an effi cient and<br />
timely manner. I would love to<br />
have the opportunity to work<br />
with REED NCFE again as it has<br />
been a real pleasure.” Employer<br />
“I would describe the relationship<br />
between Bournemouth & Poole<br />
College and REED NCFE as<br />
nothing short <strong>of</strong> transformational.<br />
The partnership has brought a<br />
world-class jobs brokerage service<br />
to our college and our students<br />
are feeling its direct benefi ts.”<br />
Lawrence Vincent<br />
Principal, Bournemouth and Poole College<br />
“REED NCFE helped me to fi nd<br />
the best apprenticeship for me.<br />
The team supported me through<br />
the application process and also<br />
gave me some tips to stand out<br />
at interview. The service has been<br />
absolutely fl awless and I’d like to<br />
say thank you for helping me to<br />
secure this job.” FE Student<br />

Fees and Pricing<br />
351<br />
All fees detailed are exempt from VAT charges.<br />
At NCFE, we feel that it’s important to tell you exactly<br />
what we charge and what you get in return, making the<br />
whole process open, honest and easy to understand.<br />
With this in mind, our fees for 2015-16 are based on a<br />
transparent pricing model which calculates the cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> a qualification using credit band and level. You can<br />
also check out the price <strong>of</strong> individual qualifications by<br />
visiting our qualification finder online.<br />
Annual Approval Fee<br />
At NCFE, we’re number 1 when it comes<br />
to service and this year, we’ve made more<br />
improvements than ever uncluding the<br />
launch <strong>of</strong> over 280 qualifications and<br />
improved SLAs.<br />
However, we also want to ensure we<br />
continue to give you great value for money.<br />
That’s why we’ve frozen our approval fees<br />
this year.<br />
NCFE’s Annual Approval Fee is £800 at all<br />
colleges and training providers approved<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer our qualifications and a £400<br />
Annual Approval Fee for schools. This fee<br />
excludes centres <strong>of</strong>fering our Investing in<br />

Award service only. The annual fee is<br />
calculated on a pro rata basis from the<br />

deliver our qualifications. Please note that<br />
this is a single charge per centre, and is<br />
not affected by the number <strong>of</strong> learners or<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> NCFE qualifications delivered by<br />
a centre.<br />
Success Pricing<br />
We do <strong>of</strong>fer an alternative approach which<br />
we call Success Pricing. Under our Success<br />
Pricing model, with NCFE’s prior agreement,<br />
NCFE centres can register learners without<br />
charge, and will only be charged for the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> learners that successfully<br />
complete the qualification and claim a<br />
certificate (or credit certificate or letter<br />
<strong>of</strong> unit credit). Centres will be charged at<br />
a higher rate per candidate, based on the<br />
centre’s previous achievement rates.<br />
Band Pricing<br />
Our band pricing model has been designed<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer you choice and flexibility when<br />
buying qualifications, without the additional<br />
paperwork. Signing up to band pricing for<br />
a year will give you ‘unlimited’ access to all<br />
NCFE awarding products and services within<br />
your chosen band. We’ll also consolidate<br />
your annual spend into a single yearly<br />
invoice which can be paid in 10 direct debit<br />
monthly payments.<br />

assessment<br />
and iqa <strong>of</strong><br />
qualifications<br />
and awards.<br />
working<br />
with<br />
ncfe.<br />
Centre staff involved in the<br />
delivery/assessment <strong>of</strong> NCFE<br />
qualifications and awards should<br />
meet the following criteria:<br />
• have a sufficient number <strong>of</strong> appropriately<br />
qualified/experienced Assessors to assess<br />
the volume <strong>of</strong> learners they intend to register<br />
• have a sufficient number <strong>of</strong> appropriately<br />
qualified/experienced Internal Quality<br />
Assurers to internally quality assure the<br />
anticipated number <strong>of</strong> Assessors and learners<br />
• ensure that all staff involved in assessment<br />
and internal quality assurance are provided<br />
with appropriate training and undertake<br />
meaningful and relevant continuing<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional development<br />
• implement effective internal quality<br />
assurance systems and processes to ensure<br />
all assessment decisions are reliable, valid,<br />
authentic, sufficient and current. This<br />
should include standardisation to ensure<br />
consistency <strong>of</strong> assessment<br />
• provide all staff involved in the assessment<br />
process with sufficient time and resources<br />
to carry out their roles effectively.<br />
Assessors and internal quality assurance<br />
NCFE considers it to be good practice for<br />
Assessors to hold, or be working towards,<br />
a recognised qualification in assessment.<br />
Where a recognised qualification isn’t held,<br />
Assessors should be able to demonstrate<br />
relevant and current experience <strong>of</strong> assessment.<br />
In order to assess knowledge-based units,<br />
the Assessor should be occupationally<br />
knowledgeable, ie hold relevant knowledge<br />
to assess units designed to test the<br />
knowledge and understanding <strong>of</strong> learners.<br />
In order to assess competence-based units,<br />
the Assessor should be occupationally<br />
competent, ie able to carry out the<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> the units they’re assessing.<br />
This competence should be demonstrable<br />
through relevant qualifications/experience,<br />
and at an equivalent or higher level than the<br />
units under assessment.<br />
All staff involved in the internal quality<br />
assurance <strong>of</strong> NCFE qualifications should be<br />
appropriately qualified to make quality<br />
assurance decisions. Where a recognised<br />
qualification isn’t held, Internal Quality<br />
Assurers should be able to demonstrate<br />
relevant and current experience <strong>of</strong> internal<br />
quality assurance.<br />
In order to carry out quality assurance <strong>of</strong><br />
assessment decisions, internal quality<br />
assurance staff should be occupationally<br />
knowledgeable, ie hold relevant knowledge<br />
across units they’ll be quality assuring. This<br />
knowledge should be demonstrable through<br />
relevant qualifications/experience, and at an<br />
equivalent or higher level than the units<br />
under assessment.<br />
Examples <strong>of</strong> Relevant Qualifications/<br />
Experience<br />
Examples <strong>of</strong> relevant qualifications/<br />
experience to demonstrate occupational<br />
knowledge/competence for Assessors and<br />
Internal Quality Assurers are included in the<br />
qualification specifications. These examples<br />
aren’t exhaustive but are to be used as<br />
benchmarks.<br />
Whether you’re new to NCFE or an<br />
existing customer, registering with<br />
us is easy!<br />
For new customers<br />
STEP 1 - ensure that your centre meets the<br />
NCFE Approval Criteria. If you’re already<br />
approved by another recognised UK Awarding<br />
Organisation, we probably won’t need to carry<br />
out an approval visit. If you aren’t already<br />
approved by another recognised UK Awarding<br />
Organisation, we’ll need to carry out an<br />
approval visit to check you have the appropriate<br />
systems and procedures in place to meet the<br />
criteria. This applies if your centre approval<br />
application with another Awarding Organisation<br />
is in progress. If you’re unsure as to whether or<br />
not you’re currently working with a recognised<br />
UK Awarding Organisation, please refer to the<br />
Register <strong>of</strong> Regulated Qualifications.<br />
STEP 2 - Let us know which qualifications<br />
your centre wants to run. On every<br />
qualification page, you will see a button<br />
which says ‘Shortlist for Approval’, you<br />
can use that button to add your selected<br />
qualifications to your online shortlist.<br />
STEP 3 - From your shortlist, click ‘Request<br />
Approval’. You’ll then be directed to an<br />
online form which will ask you for the details<br />
we need. Once you’ve submitted this, we’ll<br />
process your application within 3 working<br />
days! If you need an approval visit, one <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Approval Advisors will contact you within<br />
5 working days to make arrangements for<br />
the approval visit.<br />
Once you’ve heard back from us, we’ll<br />
confirm your approval in an email and if<br />
you’re a new centre to NCFE, we’ll contact<br />
you to discuss what support we can <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
You’re ready to start registering your learners<br />
using the NCFE Portal. The NCFE Portal is a<br />
secure area <strong>of</strong> the NCFE website which allows<br />
centres to register candidates, enter<br />
candidates for external assessment, claim<br />
certificates and view candidate information<br />
24 hours a day. It’s designed to make<br />
tracking your centre’s approvals and<br />
learners’ progress much more simple.<br />
If you’re already approved with NCFE<br />
and you’re looking to <strong>of</strong>fer more NCFE<br />
qualifications…<br />
You only need to follow steps 2 and 3 and<br />
because you’re already approved with us,<br />
we’ll process your application and get back<br />
to you within one working day!<br />
