Tariff of Legacy Qualifications (equivalence of old awards in the new framework)
Standards Verification UK (SVUK) has evaluated legacy qualifications in terms of exemption against the new framework. The SVUK tariff offers guidance to individuals, employers and ITT providers on pathways to the licensed status of either ATLS or QTLS. SVUK have, in the main, mapped the old standards into the new framework. In some cases, where standards are not national – such as 7302 –they have mapped at qualification level. The SVUK Tariff can be found at http://www.lluk.org/svuk/tlq/index.html.
Because individual qualifications have in their design exceeded the minimum standards on which they are based, City & Guilds has established a secondary mapping database which looks at qualifications in more detail.
This secondary mapping has been agreed with the Department for Innovation Universites and Skills, DIUS (formerly DfES), and, through them, SVUK. FENTO standards were the minimum which all endorsed qualifciations had to meet. Our mapping considers SVUK’s outcomes but, also takes into consideration the extended value of our qualifications, looking at the indicative content and the outcomes which would have been achieved as a result of assessments of our qualifications.
Current mapping establishes that:
7302 Certificate in Delivering Learning: an Introduction
7302 Certificate meets the requirements of:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 3) (6 credits)
7302 Diploma in Delivering Learning
7302 Certificate meets the requirements of CTLLS in respect of:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 3) (6 credits)
- Planning and Enabling Learning (Level 3) (9 credits)
7307 Stage 1
7307 Stage 1 meets the requirements of CTLLS in respect of:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 3) (6 credits)
7307 Stages 1 and 2
7307 Stages 1 and 2 meet the requirements of CTLLS in respect of:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 3) (6 credits)
- Planning and Enabling Learning (Level 3) (9 credits)
- Principles and Practice of Assessment (Level 3 (3 credits)
7407 Stage 1
7407 Stage 1 meets the requirements of two mandatory units of DTLLS:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 4) (6 credits)
- Planning and Enabling Learning (Level 4) (9 credits)
In addition it also meets the requirements of the remaining mandatory unit of CTLLS:
- Principles and Practice of Assessment (Level 4) (3 credits)
7407 Stage 2
7407 Stage 2 meets the requirements of the four mandatory units of the Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS), at level 4:
- Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (Level 4) (6 credits)
- Planning and Enabling Learning (Level 4) (9 credits)
- Theories and Principles for Planning and Enabling Learning (Level 4) (15 credits)
- Enabling Learning and Assessment (Level 4) (15 credits)
In addition it also meets the requirements of the remaining mandatory unit of the Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS), at level 4:
- Principles and Practice of Assessment (Level 4) (3 credits)
Observations against 7407, if completed with currency, can be carried forward. At both Stage 1 and 2, candidates can carry forward two tutor observations. For those carrying forward Stage 1 and 2, only a maximum of 30 teaching practice hours can be carried forward.
Where candidates are moving from partially completed 7407 to QTLS qualifications, teaching hours need to be increased to meet the CTLLS and DTLLS requirements. Therefore, learners can carry forward 20 hours from the Stage 1 (and will have to do another 10 to fall in line with Certificate) and 40 hours from Stage 2 towards the Diploma. If they have 7407 Stage 1 and 2, then they can carry forward the 60 hours and have to complete the outstanding 90 hours by the end of the DTLLS programme.
Claiming new units for old in the new framework
Holders of legacy qualifications can claim exemption from units within the new framework. Centres must establish which units their candidates are exempt from, and make a result claim for those units within the new qualifications. For example, if a candidate holds 7407 Certificate in Further Education Teaching Stage 1, he/she will be exempt from:
- PTLLS (Level 4) (6 credits)
- Planning and Enabling Learning (Level 4) (9 credits)
- Principles and Practice of Assessment (Level 4) (3 credits)
The centre must claim those units under the candidate’s registration for the new qualification. All three units can be claimed if the candidate is working towards 7304. In this example, only the PTLLS and Planning and Enabling Learning units can be claimed if the candidate is working towards 7305, as Principles and Practice of Assessment is not a 7305 unit.
Centres must keep copies of the candidates’ certificates for external quality assurance purposes.

Teach vocationally; learn vocationally
Your reasons for choosing City & Guilds are now more clearer than ever.
Parity of funding between university and City & Guilds teaching qualifications
We have always offered our centres the highest quality of FE teaching qualifications, and with the new framework we offer more flexibility and more routes of progression than ever before. Now Learners on the Diploma can also apply to their Local Authority for an educational maintenance grant, which has created parity of funding between university and City & Guilds teaching qualifications.
Teach Vocational; Learn Vocational
If learners plan to teach vocational or academic subjects, learning professional skills in a more vocational environment allows for a much more hands on experience. So if you plan to teach vocational subjects, doesn’t learning vocationally make much more sense?
Robust quality systems
All our centres are allocated their own External Verifier (EV). This is to ensure that centres are confidently able to implement the new teaching qualifications to meet the required quality standards.
Expert Advice and Support
We will run regular regional networking events to support our centres. The network events provide centre staff with an opportunity to raise issues, receive updates and support and also share good practise with other in a similar positions.
