Structure of the Qualification
4.1 Units, Credits and Total Qualification Time (TQT)
The units have been designed from a learning time perspective and are expressed in terms of Total
Qualification Time (TQT). TQT is an estimate of the total amount of time that could reasonably be
expected to be required for a learner to achieve and demonstrate the achievement of the level of
attainment necessary for the award of a qualification. TQT includes undertaking each of the
activities of guided learning, directed learning and invigilated assessment. 120 credits equate to
1200 hours of TQT.

Examples of activities that can contribute to Total Qualification Time include:

  • guided learning.
  • independent and unsupervised research/learning.
  • unsupervised compilation of a portfolio of work experience.
  • unsupervised e-learning.
  • unsupervised e-assessment.
  • unsupervised coursework.
  • watching a prerecorded podcast or webinar.
  • unsupervised work-based learning. 

Entry Criteria
The qualifications have been designed to be accessible without artificial barriers that restrict access and progression. Entry to the qualifications will be through centre interview and applicants will be expected to hold the following:

  • Qualifi Level 4 Diploma in Artificial Intelligence
  • learners who possess qualifications at Level 3 and/or;
  • learners who have work experience in the governmental and non-governmental sector and demonstrate ambition with clear career

    goals.Qualifi Level 5 Diploma in Artificial Intelligence  

  • learners who possess qualifications at Level 4 and/or; 
  • learners who have work experience in the governmental and non-governmental

sector and demonstrate ambition with clear career goals.
In certain circumstances, learners with considerable experience but no formal qualifications may be considered, subject to interview and demonstrate their ability to cope with the qualification’s demands.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a method of assessment (leading to the award of credit) that considers whether learners can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment requirements for a unit through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess and so do not need to develop through a course of learning

Examples of activities that can contribute to Total Qualification Time include:
guided learning.

  • independent and unsupervised research/learning.
  • unsupervised compilation of a portfolio of work experience.
  • unsupervised e-learning.
  • unsupervised e-assessment.
  • unsupervised coursework.
  • watching a prerecorded podcast or webinar.
  • unsupervised work-based learning.

Guided Learning Hours (GLH) are defined as the time when a tutor is present to give specific guidance towards the learning aim being studied on a programme. This definition includes lectures, tutorials and supervised study in, for example, open learning centres and learning workshops. 
Guided learning includes any supervised assessment activity; this includes invigilated examination and observed assessment and observed work-based practice.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a method of assessment (leading to the award of credit) that considers whether learners can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment requirements for a unit. through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess, and so do not need to develop through a course of learning.

Learners’ assessments will be marked internally by the approved centre and will be subject to external moderation by QUALIFI prior to certification. 

• Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Applications
• Mathematical Foundations for Machine Learning
• Data Science Using Python
• Big Data Management
• Introduction to Deep Learning
• Artificial Intelligence Ethics

External Quality Assurance Arrangements All centres are required to complete an approval process to be recognised as an approved centre. Centres must have the ability to support learners. Centres must commit to working with QUALIFI and its team of External Quality Assurers (EQAs). Approved centres are required to have in place qualified and experienced tutors.

All tutors are required to undertake regular continued professional development (CPD). Approved centres will be monitored by QUALIFI External Quality Assurers (EQAs) to ensure compliance with QUALIFI requirements and to ensure that learners are provided with appropriate learning opportunities, guidance and formative assessment. QUALIFI’s guidance relating to invigilation, preventing plagiarism and collusion will apply to centres. Unless otherwise agreed, QUALIFI:

• sets all assessments.
• moderate’s assessments prior to certification.
• awards the final mark and issues certificates. 

Formative Assessment
Formative assessment is an integral part of the assessment process, involving both the tutor/assessor and the learner about their progress during the course of study. Formative assessment takes place prior to summative assessment and focuses on helping the learner to reflect on their learning and improve their performance and does not confirm achievement of grades at this stage. 

Summative Assessment
Summative assessment is used to evaluate learner competence and progression at the end of a unit or component. Summative assessment should take place when the assessor deems that the learner is at a stage where competence can be demonstrated. Learners should be made aware that summative assessment outcomes are subject to confirmation by the Internal Verifier and External Quality Assurer (EQA) and thus is provisional and can be overridden. Assessors should annotate on the learner work where the evidence supports their decisions against the assessment criteria. Learners will need to be familiar with the assessment and grading criteria so that they can understand the quality of what is required.

  1. Demonstrate a fundamental understanding of artificial intelligence concepts, theories, and principles.
  2. Apply machine learning algorithms and techniques to solve real-world problems.
  3. Analyze and process data for AI applications, including data cleaning, transformation, and feature engineering.
  4. Develop basic AI solutions using programming languages such as Python.
  5. Evaluate the ethical and legal considerations associated with AI technologies.
  6. Distinguish various impacts of AI on society, economy, and industry.
