Optional units of assessment

LLUK is developing units of assessment for Skills for Life and generic teaching qualifications. Additional units of assessment have been developed to create optional elements within the teacher qualifications framework and this process is ongoing. Further optional units will be produced and published in response to proposals submitted by awarding institutions and employers and to represent identified specialist pathways. New optional units of assessment may also be produced in line with the LLUK position statement.
