I wish to raise one thing. When we come to looking at the old Further Education and Training Awards Council, FETAC, levels – I apologise as the old name for it is still in my head – and what is a level 5, 6 and 7, that involves a certain element of measurement of contact hours. When it comes to the part-time, we need to have verifiable contact hours, not merely that we are allowed to do hybrid and it then ends up all online, but there is genuine student-tutor contact. It is essential that is an element in it.
