3 QualificationsOverview

3.1 IntroductionThis section will provide you with an overview of LCCI qualifications. LCCI qualifications are designed to help learners develop the skills they need to be successful in the workplace and in their lives. The majority of qualifications are assessed through external examinations, which are available either in one or more exams series during the year, through an on-demand assessment or a combination of both. Some qualifications have an internally assessed component, which is externally moderated. Specifications and other support items are available on our website at qualifications.pearson.com/lcci-qualifications

LCCI qualifications are currently offered in four main suites, which cover a range of vocational areas.

3.2 ExaminationguidanceFor guidance on conducting examinations, examination stationery and how to track the delivery of the question papers we send you please see qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/lcci/support.html

You must also review the subject specific page for additional relevant information including the Instructions for Conducting Examinations (ICE) document, if applicable.

3.3 FinancialandQuantitativequalificationsThe qualifications in this suite cover a range of essential financial and quantitative topics, which prepare students for progression to university and professional qualifications, or direct employment in the financial sector. The Financial and Quantitative qualifications, launched in September 2015, represent the demands of the current financial world and are constructed around the International Accounting Standards (IAS).

Pearson offers three different types of LCCI training events, as follows:

4.1 LauncheventsLaunch events are an opportunity for Pearson to introduce a new qualification or suite of qualifications. Normally delivered online, these sessions are designed to give centres and learners an understanding of the new qualification and, if relevant, how it differs from previous versions of the qualification. These events are delivered by subject experts and so present a good opportunity for centres and learners to ask questions.

4.2 GettingReadytoTeacheventsOnce a new specification has been made available to centres, Getting Ready to Teach events are offered. Run with a subject specialist and covering the qualification(s) in detail, these events are designed to ensure teachers are comfortable with the content and what they need to teach. These events will often include group activities that explore ways of delivering and teaching aspects of the qualifications.

4.3 EffectivenesseventsThese events can take one of two forms: understanding exam results events and refresher/personal development events. Exam result events are for qualifications offered through series assessments. The training is based on the Examiners' report and highlights areas in which learners have excelled or require improvement. Refresher/personal development events are designed for teachers who need a refresher on particular qualifications they have been delivering and are keen to learn more from a Subject Advisor.
