This 30 credit special purpose award is a specific award in Training and Development and consists of two mandatory components/modules at level 6 each with a credit value of 15. These qualifications allow learners to build up units of learning at their own pace to meet their own needs. Supplemental awards are for learning which is additional to any previous award.
