They give learners the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to prepare for employment in a specific occupational area. The qualifications also provide career development opportunities for those already in work. The qualifications may be offered as full-time or part-time courses in schools or colleges. Training centres and employers may also offer these qualifications. Sizes of Specialist qualifications For all regulated qualifications, we specify a total number of hours that learners are expected to undertake in order to complete and show achievement for the qualification – this is the Total Qualification Time (TQT). The TQT value indicates the size of a qualification. Within the TQT, we identify the number of Guided Learning Hours (GLH) that a centre delivering the qualification needs to provide. Guided learning means activities that directly or immediately involve tutors and assessors in teaching, supervising, and invigilating learners, for example lectures, tutorials, online instruction and supervised study. As well as guided learning, there may be other required learning that is directed by tutors or assessors. This includes, for example, private study, preparation for assessment and undertaking assessment when not under supervision, such as preparatory reading, revision and independent research. As well as TQT and GLH, qualifications can also have a credit value – equal to one tenth of TQT, rounded to the nearest whole number. TQT and credit values are assigned after consultation with users of the qualifications. BTEC Specialist qualifications are available in the following sizes:  Award – a qualification with a TQT value of 120 or less (equivalent to a range of 1–12 credits)  Certificate – a qualification with a TQT value in the range of 121–369 (equivalent to a range of 13–36 credits)  Diploma – a qualification with a TQT value of 370 or more (equivalent to 37 credits and above).
