You may have recently heard the news of our Level 3 qualifications now holding UCAs points… but that’s not the only exciting qualifications news that we have to tell you.
The Learning at Work department within the University of Portsmouth now recognises Training Qualifications UK qualifications for entry to its suite of Learning at Work (LATW) courses!
Supporting learners to power forward in their careers is at the heart of what we do here at Training Qualifications UK (TQUK). That’s why we work with institutions that want to do the same and provide their learners with the best quality services and resources. One such centre is the University of Portsmouth.
The University of Portsmouth offers a range of Learning at Work courses that give learners the opportunity to get an undergraduate bachelor’s or postgraduate master’s university degree alongside a job they’re currently working, without having to go to university full-time.
How is TQUK involved?
Applications for LATW courses from learners with a TQUK qualification will be assessed on their individual merit, with recognition of prior learning (RPL) being applied at the time of application.
Learners can take this route if they require a more flexible approach to their university learning.
