Objectives
Our objectives for the session are to provide for you:
An understanding of the reasons behind the system changes
A demonstration of RITS and the Register of Recognised Qualifications
Information on the timeline to the next release
Details of future developments
Information about where you can access further information and support
![Page 4: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
RITS is a key milestone in the Ofqual journey
ASCL Act and Consultation on our powers (Nov/Dec 2009)
Vesting & transitional regulatory arrangements (April 2010)
Our next consultations on:• ‘Transition to transformation’ & Economic Regulation (Oct 2010)• Single Equality Scheme & Examinations Appeal Board (Nov 2010)
Release 1 RITS (25 October 2010) …and other releases to Jan 2011
Transition to new regulatory model – throughout 2011-12
![Page 5: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why are we changing the systems?
Ofqual cannot deliver its regulatory commitments on unsupported systems that cannot be developed due to stability issues
Ofqual needs a flexible platform to deliver its statutory obligation under the Apprenticeship Skills Children and Learning (ASCL) Act
Ofqual must publish and maintain a list of:
- recognised awarding organisations
- what descriptions of qualifications they are recognised to offer
- their specific regulated qualifications
Ofqual can remove the bureaucratic burden from awarding organisations through more effective deployment of IT solutions
Ofqual has made a commitment to the full and proper regulation of the Qualifications and Credit Framework through our regulatory systems

Key messages
RITS goes live on 25 October that enables us all to stop using WBA and NDAQ
It won’t be perfect on day 1, but it is a huge step forward and only the beginning
There will be a further release during November with improved functionality and further releases in 2011
You will have a user guide and help text to assist and contact points to ask questions – all available at www.ofqual.gov.uk/RITS
You will have access to a shared training environment

Introducing RITS

![Page 8: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Introducing RITS and the Register
Moving on from using the pilot
The underlying assumptions on which RITS has been built
Development of the Register
![Page 9: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Moving out of the pilot
All Awarding Organisations and unit and RoC submitters have had access to the RITS pilot since July
You have set up basic data and users have been set up
All the data you have input to the pilot will be available in RITS
![Page 10: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Assumptions underlying RITS
AO recognition and unit and rule of combination (RoC) submitter approval
– An organisation’s ‘plan of provision’ will be carried over into RITS
– Recognition is an off-line process supported by the exchange of documents through the document store.
– Awarding organisations will have recognition numbers
![Page 11: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assumptions underlying RITS (continued)
Accreditation requirement
– RITS has been built to allow some qualifications to go straight to the Register without an accreditation process.
– AOs will be able to see their accreditation requirements within RITS
– There will be no differentiation on the Register between qualifications subject to the accreditation requirement and those that are not
– All qualifications will be subject to the accreditation requirement until new criteria and processes are implemented after consultation.
![Page 12: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Policy underlying RITS (continued)
Qualifications will be formally structured
Each constituent part will have an identification number
Routes through a qualification will be described in free text as at present but will be automatically generated in later releases.
RITS will not collect answers to accreditation criteria questions
![Page 13: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Other changes
Review dates for documents
Qualification dates– Date of regulation– Operational start date– Review date– Operational end date– Certification end date– Current accreditation end dates will be migrated as review dates
![Page 14: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Other changes continued
Age ranges and funding
– AOs state the age ranges that a qualification is suitable for, which shows on the Register
– Within RITS, AOs say whether they wish the qualification to be considered for funding
– AOs give permission within RITS for this information to be passed across a data interface to SFA and YPLA
![Page 15: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Other changes continued
‘Countries offered in’ is limited to England, Wales and Northern Ireland
SSC approval of a qualification will be collect within RITS via– A check box– The name of the approving SSC– An SSC identifier– Documentary evidence from the SSC
![Page 16: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Register of Regulated Qualifications
A three-country badged web-site hosted on the Ofqual website that replaces NDAQ
The means by which Ofqual fulfils the statutory requirement placed upon it by the ASCL Act to provide a public list of:
– recognised awarding organisations – what descriptions of qualifications they are recognised to offer– their specific regulated qualifications
![Page 17: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Information on the Register
Recognised awarding organisations are listed on the Register; approved unit and RoC submitters are not.
The register will show an organisation’s recognition by qualification type/sub-type.
Regulated qualifications will be shown on the Register but there will be no differentiation between those subject to the accreditation requirement and those not.
![Page 18: Getting to grips with RITS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54b5968f4a7959c92e8b4621/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
