Aims

Since its inception in 1999, one of BYDP’s primary aims has been the implementation of innovative programmes of work that engage young people/adults. Many have had negative experiences of compulsory education. However, with appropriate help and support, they can achieve nationally recognised qualifications and have access to further higher education and employment opportunities that would otherwise be difficult for them.

BYDP work in partnership with National Open College Network (NOCN) to offer a flexible learning route to suit the needs of our learners. The introduction of Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) which replaces National Qualifications Framework (NQF) means that the NOCN system of credit based learning has gone mainstream for all awarding bodies.

The NOCN Qualifications In Progression are designed to meet the needs of the Foundation Learning Tier (FLT) Progression Pathways. The Skills Towards Enabling Progression (Step-up) qualifications are approved for 14 plus and are particularly appropriate for schools as they carry performance points. The FLT is being piloted for another year with a wider selection of Centers and many of these are using NOCN qualifications.
