FAQ: What actions are required when a standard is updated?

If the update applies to new learners only, please see Option 1. If there are existing learners that the new standard is also applicable for, please see Option 2.

Option 1: For when the updated standard applies to new Learners only

1. Clone the existing delivery programme and replace the criteria in the cloned programmes’ learning plan to the new version on the updated standard.
2. Remap the learning plan to the new criteria from the updated standard and use this programme for new learners only.

Option 2: For when the updated standard applies to existing learners

1. If the update is not extensive, this can be handled without creating a separate criteria. Please review the learning plan mapping at the programme level and adjust as necessary.
2. If mapping has been adjusted, please also make amendments in one existing learners’ learning plan and sync to all existing learners on the programme.
3. Please note that if mapping has been adjusted for existing learners, the evidence attached to the components affected will need to be reassessed to ensure that the new criteria has been evidenced.
