IAB Qualifications

What makes IAB qualifications special ?

IAB  Courses are fully accredited by the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).

 The IAB was one of the first Awarding Organisations to obtain the crucial QCF recognition status. The IAB has developed 'competence' qualifications which recognise the knowledge and skills required either by employers or for setting up your own Book-Keeping services business.

The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is the new framework for creating and accrediting qualifications.

How does the QCF work?

 

Every unit and qualification in the new framework has a credit value. There are  different sizes of qualification as follows:

• IAB Level 1 Award in Book-Keeping  (9 credits) QCF Accredition number 500/9006/9 

• IAB Level 2 Certificate in Book-Keeping (16 credits) QCF Accredition number 500/9053/7

• IAB Level 3 Certificate in Book-Keeping (28 credits) QCF Accredition number 500/8479/3

 

 Qualifications consist of units which are known as ‘shared’ because any other QCF recognised Awarding Organisation can use them. Therefore if a Learner  has successfully completed a unit which belongs to a different qualification they will be able to transfer this credit and therefore not have to repeat the unit.

 

Unique Learner Numbers(ULN) and the Personal Learner Record

A Unique Learner Number (ULN) is a 10-digit identifier which is applied to the Personal Learner Record of anyone over the age of 14 involved in UK education or training. It has been designed to ensure that no additional meaning can be inferred from its structure, e.g. geographical location, level of learning, etc.

Its purpose is purely to provide a unique identifier for each individual’s Personal Learner Record and it is a vital component of the

Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF). It allows the individual to transfer credit obtained within this framework and build their own Personal Learner Record.

A key aim of the Personal Learner Record is to improve the flow of information about learners to other education providers and ultimately employers, leading to more effective data sharing and better decision making. Learners will need to use their number each time they want to see or confirm the details held about them on their Personal Learner Record.

Learners will retain the same number for accessing their Personal Learner Record throughout their lives, whatever their level of learning and wherever they choose to participate. Each ULN is issued and held by the Learner Registration Service (LRS). The LRS uses the number to index each learner’s identity details, education and training qualifications within the

individual Learner record.

 

THE LEARNER REGISTRATION SERVICE

This is an internet-based service which enables education providers to generate a Unique Learner Number (ULN) for anyone over the age of 14 in UK education and training. The service is now being made available across the

education sector.

A Personal Learner Record is valuable evidence which a learner can provide when looking for career advice, applying to study or seeking employment. Anyone aged 16 or over can log-in to a secure website to view their very

own Personal Learner Record providing they have a Unique Learner Number (ULN).
