Module

Overview

The Product Development Module will transform the way you develop, launch, review and even withdraw various qualification products and in doing so, strengthen your internal control, transparency and compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, supporting virtually any qualification type, assessment, and grading model.  

It supports the development of regulated and non-regulated products whether initiated in-house by your staff, apprenticeship industry trailblazers, or by your external customers who submit new product proposals for you to develop and approve to support their local delivery, employment and training needs..

Pre-loaded with a range of configurable forms and templates, it will help enforce your rules and workflows, and remove the need for multiple emails, Word documents and spreadsheets by bringing together all activities, evidence and decisions into one place.

For example, the Development Form will help demonstrate how you've followed your documented development procedures from the qualification's business case review, to the rationales and support received for its assessment, grading and delivery models and your associated reviews and sign-off of these arrangements.  As well as this, the form can detail the rationale for, and detail behind, the associated Centre Assessment Standards Scrutiny (CASS) strategy (mandated for regulated awarding organisations), and the rationale and sign-off for the qualification support materials and customer fees.

The product rules you assign and sign-off in this Module are automatically integrated and applied to other Modules within creatiogreen, removing data duplication and streamlining internal processes.
