It specifies required use of provided templates, notes that templates may be adapted within validation criteria, and emphasizes that applicants remain solely responsible for addressing all criteria. Version 3 streamlines the process by reducing repetition and directing applicants to reference shared sections, with Part 1 providing the overall template.","Programme Validation Manual\nfor Programmes of HET and Apprenticeships (FET and HET)\n(Edition 3, 2018)\nThis document assumes familiarity with “\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://publicadmin.qqi.ie/Publications/Publications/Initial_Validation_policy_7_10_13.pdf\" \u0014Core Policies and Criteria for the Validation by QQI of Programmes of Education and Training” \u0015.  That is the definitive source.\nPart 1:  provides an overall template for presenting applications.\nPart 2:  provides supporting templates e.g. for the proposed programme schedule.\nPart 3:  provides further information for applicants and guidelines for completing and presenting an application\nAll applicants must use the templates provided and complete all sections—this is required for administrative purposes.   The templates can be adapted to some degree, but must meet the validation criteria.\nThe purpose of this document is to help applicants (for validation) present their applications and programmes consistently and systematically. However, it is the applicant’s sole responsibility to ensure that all the criteria are addressed. The manual needs to be read in conjunction with \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://publicadmin.qqi.ie/Publications/Publications/Initial_Validation_policy_7_10_13.pdf\" \u0014QQI’s Core Policies and Criteria for the Validation by QQI of Programmes of Education and Training\u0015.\nCHANGES IN VERSION 3\nThis version is for use by applicants, but it will be updated from time to time. Consult QQI for the latest version.\nVersion 3 aims to rationalise and streamline the application manual – all sections must be completed.  However, where there are shared features or where similar information is requested in different sections this should be referenced rather than duplicated as a general principle there should be limited repetition\n\u000f\nPart 1\nOverall Template for Presenting an Application\nProvider Details\nContextual information about the provider and its other programmes\nAn outline of the programme and identification of the QQI award(s) to which it designed to lead\u000b(when submitting an add-on programme for validation, please ensure that a copy of the programme document that is being added to is included in the submission)\nPrincipal programme\nIf the programme involves work placements this should be noted here.
