Education and Skills Bill

I hope that the Minister will copy me in on that letter. Accreditation is not a simple affair, as I am sure he knows, and is further complicated because whereas the Open College Network may accredit particular programmes, the Learning and Skills Council will then refuse to recognise that accreditation. It is key, particularly when one is looking at the funding streams that will be available to institutions offering that education, to know what accredited means and that it also carries the implied promise that such courses will be funded.
