About
Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) awarded a contract to Yougov for a research study on the drivers of choice for vocational and technical qualifications (VTQs).
The study aimed to provide a statistically representative evidence base on the reasons centres choose to offer specific VTQs for 16-19 year olds and the reasons they choose particular awarding organisations.
It examined the most important factors, their weighting, and whether they differ by learner type, provider type, and area deprivation index.
The contract value was AUD 26,800.
