Foundation Learning Tier

The Foundation Learning Tier is being developed by the Learning and Skills Council and Qualifications and Curriculum Authority working with a large number of providers, awarding bodies and Sector Skills Councils. 
 
The vision of the programme is to transform the learning experience for young people (and adults) working at entry level and level 1 through a more focused and strategic approach within the Qualifications and Credit Framework.  The development of such provision will assist in raising participation, achievement and progression amongst learners at these levels.

By 2010 there will be a suite of Progression Pathways, clear stepping stones that will enable learners to access a first full Level 2 programme or to develop independent living skills. These will be made up of credit-based qualifications and units from the QCF, with clear progression routes through Entry and Level 1 to Level 2.
