Interestingly, now that the ACF has moved away from using SJA for adult courses, we are moving away from AFA and now only do FAAW for adults and senior cadets. I believe the YFA awarded is still SJA.
HQAC could apply for Centre Approval from a myriad of awarding organisations and start to deliver a wide range of accredited qualifications to cadets and staff. Qualifications that actually mean something, sit on the RQF and possibly give the kids and staff a helping hand in the workplace by equipping them with an accredited qual.
One of my four AO’s actually give you for free the learning resources so there’s no extra cost for those.
It’s time they moved away from SJA, just like Talon has said the ACF are. In my experience, they aren’t as good as they make out and my understanding was that a couple or three years ago, they had been subject to some sort of special monitoring (not sure by whom) as their standards allegedly weren’t up to scratch.
