The modular acceleration programme (MAP)

Product Description:
The modular acceleration programme (MAP) is a 2-year pilot to fund tuition fees for learners who study modules of higher technical qualifications (HTQ), such as a Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND) which are levels 4 and 5 respectively.

Learners do not need to pay back any tuition fees. However, the funding accessed for MAP will reduce the amount remaining in a future Lifelong Learning Entitlement account. This is called the ‘residual entitlement’.

The programme and learning must be completed by 31 December 2025.

Students will be asked to participate in a learner survey either during or after completing their learning.

Eligibility:
Providers must be registered with the Office for Students and be currently delivering, or planning to deliver, full course HTQs from Cycles 1 & 2 in AY 2023/24 and/or Cycles 1-3 in AY 2024/25. If part of a franchise arrangement or Institute of Technology, all participating providers must be registered with the OfS.
