Our Ambitions

• To ensure Progression Pathways are the principal
  learning offer at entry level and level 1 for
  both young people and adults.
• We expect that, over time, all learners working
  at entry level and level 1 will do so within the
  context of a Progression Pathway. This is part of
  the Governments aspiration to move towards a
  more comprehensive but also more coherent
  qualification offer for both young people and
  adults.
