This includes supporting the redevelopment of GCSEs and A levels and overseeing the introduction and accreditation of new qualifications, including V Levels, Foundation Certificates and Occupational Certificates.
The role contributes to securing the long‑term quality, validity, and coherence of the nation’s qualifications.

The Design and Development teams focus on developing subject specific regulatory expectations on assessment approaches.
