This qualification is intended for those who have a management responsibility for government-funded work-based learning programmes and are involved in identifying organisational learning and development needs with strategic planning of the implementation of learning and development objectives.

This qualification is concerned with the management of learning opportunities in line with organisational requirements, strategic training personnel planning and the management of teams and individuals to implement the plans along with the evaluation and improvement of the learning and development programme. They may also be conducting internal quality assurance, identifying organisation wide learning and development needs, preparing and developing resources and managing the contribution of others and managing the use of financial resources.

To achieve a full award, candidates must complete eight units, including six mandatory units and two optional units from a further choice of seven. Candidates choose the optional units that best suit their work situation and job role.

Like all NVQs this qualification is competence-based. This means that it is linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role.

OCR offers a range of NVQs in Learning and Development, which develop and recognise the competency of staff working at all levels within this sector. OCR also offers vocationally-related unit based awards, which reflect discrete roles in the delivery, assessment and verification process.
