NQGA Media Development Programme

SQA is currently taking forward the development of NQ Group Awards in Media. The aims of the development are to:

• develop a new suite of NQ Group Awards in the form of National Certificates and National Progression Awards
• review, update, revise and rationalise Units within the NQ Unit Catalogue
• develop assessment support materials where required, including e-learning and e-assessment

An initial review was carried out in 2005/2006 of Unit provision at this level. The initial scoping exercise identified a number of key gaps and issues relating to the current Unit catalogue.

• There is a need to update Units to reflect industry and developments in media.
• Units should be developed in areas such as Digital Media, Pod cast, E-Media, Games Development, Web Design and Animation.
• Analytical skills are important.
• Knowledge of how the industry works.

If you or a colleague would be interested in being involved in this development please see below for details of how to indicate your interest.

* Qualifications Design Team (QDT)

The QDT works in conjunction with a Qualification Manager/Development Manager to steer the development of the National Qualification Group Award from its inception/revision through to validation. The group is made up of key stakeholders representing the interests of centres, employers, Sector Skills Councils, universities (where appropriate) and other relevant organisations.
