    From a meeting I went to this week, there seems to be more questions on how it is going to work than answers. 

    Just wondering if this is running smoothly in England?  Does anyone have experience of this yet?

    Personally, I teach in an  Entry level department (used to be SEN ) but any response on how it is working would be welcomed.

     Yes  we are changing tothe credit based system - QCFW.  Moving fromcourses based on modules to a transferable credit based sysytem.

    We have had a problem in the past where schools were using the same accredition body as ourselves and we had to restructure the course.  With the credit sysytem if a 'student' has already got an Entry qualification, then it may have a knock on effect with us - not elegible for the course or would we have to have 'dip in/out (?)' parts of the course. 

    Just wondering how others are already using it.
