1 ABE s exciting updated Qualification Portfolio Giving students the dynamic skills they need to succeed in business

2 Introduction ABE has an outstanding history and an excellent global reputation. ABE qualifications give learners the best chance of achieving their full potential in their chosen careers. There is a world of opportunity waiting for them, and our qualifications ensure they can seize that opportunity and succeed. ABE has been going through a period of development. In the last two years, we have invested in new technologies to transform how our accredited centres and learners interact with us. We have created a new public website which is fully responsive, and we shall soon be launching our new online portal. We ve hosted more events around the world and we ve re-branded to ensure that we portray an exciting, fresh image. Underpinning all this work has been some intensive research and analysis to ensure that our qualifications continue to be fit for purpose. We are delighted to now officially announce our updated portfolio. In this brochure, we explore the background which has informed our decisions. For our accredited centres we are delighted to offer a portfolio which you will be even more proud to deliver. The qualifications will excite and support your students, enriching their learning experience. 2 ABE. Qualifications Portfolio 2017

3 Business Management Human Resources Management Entrepreneurship Marketing Management In many industries and countries, the most in-demand occupations or specialties didn t exist ten or even five years ago, and the pace of change is set to accelerate World Economic Forum, 2016 Background As part of ABE s qualifications review, we undertook extensive research into the business skills of the future 2020 and beyond. The findings informed the design and development of content for ABE s updated qualifications. We will equip learners with the most relevant skills for the current and future business environment. Our research looked at the environmental changes and emerging trends that act as drivers for the demand and development of the skills required for business success. It highlighted the skills gap between what graduates have and the needs of employers right now. It also revealed a skills unknown the skills that employers are going to need that are just over the horizon and have not yet been identified. The challenge over the coming decade will be to predict these skills based on trends and developments and to teach and develop abilities that are broad enough and flexible enough to adapt to the future environment. According to the McKinsey Global Institute 1, there are four global forces at work here: The shifting focus of economic activity and dynamism to emerging markets Accelerating technological change 1/3 of all humans are now able to communicate on the internet and this has meant that entrepreneurs and start-ups now frequently enjoy advantages over large, established businesses. Responding to the challenges of changing populations Trade, people, finance, data greater global connections have created unmatched opportunities and create unexpected volatility 1 The four global forces breaking all trends, McKinsey Global Institute, April 2015 Underneath these overarching trends are the skills and competencies that employers are asking for. According to Forbes 2, these are the top 10 skills employers most want from graduates: Ability to work in a team structure Ability to make decisions and solve problems Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside of an organisation Ability to plan, organise and prioritise work Ability to obtain and process information Ability to analyse quantitative data Technical knowledge related to job Proficiency with computer software programs Ability to create and/or edit written reports Ability to sell and influence others 2 The 10 Skills Employers Most Want in 2015 Graduates, Forbes, 2014 ABE. Qualifications Portfolio

4 What this means for ABE Qualifications The business skills needed by organisations in the future will be complex and constantly evolving, but our research shows that a combination of trans-disciplinary, agility and change management skills will enable organisations to maintain business competitiveness in the future. Using these findings, ABE has developed its updated qualifications to ensure we produce graduates who have relevant business skills now and in the future. Our updated framework features these key subject areas: Project Management Risk Management Change Management Managing Teams We also want to ensure that ABE graduates are taught and can apply the key skills and competencies required of them by their future employers. These skills and competencies have been embedded in ABE units in such a way as to allow learners to apply them to different contexts, disciplines and sectors to ensure adaptability. The key for ABE qualifications is to teach learners how to actually apply and put into action the skills and competencies they learned during their course in the workplace and, more than that, continue to utilise them in the changing workplace 4 ABE. Qualifications Portfolio 2017

5 It s not just about employment In 2016 ABE commissioned Censuswide to gather the views of 500 young people about their entrepreneurial ambitions. According to the research, 82 per cent of respondents plan to start a business in the future. In addition, almost 90 per cent would like to start a business if barriers such as financial constraints or a lack of skills were removed. Entrepreneurial skills are important because according to the International Labour Organization, global unemployment will surpass 200 million by end of 2017 for the first time on record. Fostering a spirit of entrepreneurialism is good for individuals, organisations, communities and countries. It means that people don t seek employment they create it. ABE is a key proponent in the push for a new mindset which gives people a new sense of their own potential and purpose. Our updated portfolio features several qualifications which help build entrepreneurial skills. Additionally, entrepreneurship is embedded into our Business Management suite. New Qualifications Standards from Ofqual ABE has aligned its updated portfolio with new regulations from Ofqual, the qualifications regulator for England. Ofqual issued its new Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) so it could improve consistency in how awarding organisations describe the size and challenge, or demand, of their qualifications. ABE s updated portfolio simplifies our credit structure, which in turn means that graduates on any of our qualifications have clearer progression routes from our qualifications to other academic institutions. As well as credits and levels, each qualification is now allocated a Total Qualification Time (TQT). TQT is an indication of how long a typical learner might take to study a qualification, including the time spent on their individual study and on assessment. It also includes Guided Learning Hours (GLH), which is the time spent actually being taught. Streamlined Units and Credits Our qualifications have been streamlined so that all students take a number of core units and develop the all round skills needed for the future as well a specialism, if they wish. This makes it cost effective for centres and good for students who can offer a broad expertise and choose to specialise in a particular discipline later. Additionally credit values for each unit have been simplified. ABE full Diplomas carry 120 credits. ABE. Qualifications Portfolio

6 New Assessment Practices ABE is introducing new ways of assessing learners so they can demonstrate their understanding more effectively. In addition to two examination sessions per year in June and December, we will be offering four assessment windows for assignments (March, June, September and December). We want to help students do as well as they can in their assessments and a mix of assignments and examinations provides an opportunity for learners to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in different ways. All centres will be given guidance on how to help their students prepare their assignments, how to assess them before submission (to give students the best chance of passing) and how to submit assignments for quality assurance checking at ABE. Why assessment by assignment? Assignments can provide a greater opportunity to practically apply learning to the workplace. Plus; They allow for individual expression and localisation They can show depth of learning They examine students ability to form coherent arguments They can show breadth of student knowledge and understanding More support materials ABE will now offer centres and learners more support materials so you can give students the best possible experience and the greatest chance of passing their qualification. The materials will include tutor resources, lesson plans, learning outcomes, activities to use in class or as homework, powerpoint presentations to support delivery, case studies, reading lists, sample exam papers and examiner tips. In addition, learners will get study guides for all units. Upgraded Portal All of the changes and updates will be available through ABE s new online portal, to be launched in This will give centres and learners an enhanced online experience. You will be able to see all the students studying at your centre and their pass rates. ABE will be able to give you enhanced support if we see that your cohorts are struggling with particular units. A new members portal and more tuition resources than ever before 6 ABE. Qualifications Portfolio 2017

7 Our updated qualifications continue to be Fully regulated by the qualifications regulator Ofqual Flexible you can offer students the pace that suits them and your centre Relevant to real life work situations Internationally recognised A great route to university Plus they are even better because: They are even more relevant to the workplace, and designed with practical learning in mind They are regionally and locally relevant They are accompanied by more study resources They provide clearer progression to university Assignments allow students to demonstrate their knowledge and show how it can be applied in a working environment Future employability and practical workplace skills are embedded into every module We will be offering 4 assessment sessions for assignments so students can pace their learning more and won t have to wait as long should they need to do an assignment retake All students take the same core units so centres have economies of scale Timeline for release of updated Qualifications ABE will launch its updated Business Management qualifications at Levels 3, 4, 5 & 6 from June In addition to Business Management there will be pathways in Marketing and Human Resources (HR) and these modules will be launched in December However, students wishing to take these pathways will be able to start in June with the core Business Management units which will be common to all qualifications. Here are the key dates for our updated qualifications: Qualification (RQF) First date new centre accreditations* First date new learner registrations First assessment booking deadline December 2017 session L3/L4/L5/L6 All programmes 1st January st June th October 2017 ABE. Qualifications Portfolio

8 Expiry of Qualifications All of ABE s current QCF / NQF qualifications must by transferred to the RQF by the end of Some of ABE s qualifications will not be updated when we move across to the Ofqual RQF and therefore will be discontinued. The operational end date for these qualifications is December 31st There will be two more exam sessions in June and December These are the qualifications that will not be transferred to the RQF: Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management (TTHM) The TTHM suite is being discontinued because, in light of the findings of our research, we believe our generic Business Management qualification will still develop the skills to excel in this sector but will also serve learners better in the decades to come if they wish to seek employment and promotion in other areas. All students on TTHM programmes can transfer onto our core Business Management programmes if they wish to do so. Or go on to the next level if they have completed Level 4 or 5. Students who do not complete the qualification and who do not wish to transfer, will be given unit certificates to show any units they have successfully achieved. Level 7 Diploma in Business Management Most of our Level 7 students go on to top up degrees, Masters degrees or MBAs. As take up of Level 7 is relatively small we are focusing resources on our core Business Management Level 6 programme which will still enable learners to progress to Masters programmes if they wish. Students who do not complete their qualification by December 2017, can apply for unit certificates. Level 4 Diploma in Business Start-up and Entrepreneurship (L4BSU) Our updated framework incorporates entrepreneurial skills within the Business Management programme. Hence, we would like students who do not complete to transfer onto our updated ABE Level 4 Business Management, available from June NQF Botswana In Botswana, ABE s NQF qualifications will be discontinued at the end of 2017, along with our other QCF qualifications. The new RQF qualifications at Levels 3-6 will be introduced in line with the rest of the world. Final Assessments Examinations or assessments for ABE s current qualifications will continue as usual for two more sessions: June and December If students do not pass all units, they can get unit certificates for the units they have successfully passed. L4-6 students can transfer onto the new ABE L4-6 Business Management qualifications, or go on to the next Level in the updated suite if they have passed Level 4 or 5 in any current ABE qualification.
