It is possible that there will be a number of different models for delivery of the Learning for Living resources. The model that the ICCA pilot replicated for Learning for Living was one in which the ICCA team attempted to simulate one future scenario. In this model, learners would be provided with guidance about the e-learning resources and qualification either by Carers' Centre staff or by guidance staff in a college of Further Education. While carers' centres could act as 'recruitment agents', the learners would be formally registered with the local FE college. This latter body would provide the normal student services (including guidance for other skills development and future pathways). The tutor would be contracted by the FE College and subject to their normal contractual obligations and codes of practice. Learning for Living resources, available through a password-protected website, would be supplied by City & Guilds on submission by the college of a formal request/learner registration. In this model, which anticipated what might be available in future, the qualification would be available to those wishing to undergo assessment and the college would act as the formal assessment centre.
It was also anticipated that fees, based on a per capita amount for e-learning resource access and/or the qualification, would be paid by the college to City & Guilds. The college would pay the tutor according to their contract. Funding would most likely be drawn down by the FE college from relevant financial programmes provided by the local LSC and based on a per registered learner fee. Use of outreach facilities (eg carers' centres' e-learning suites) would be negotiated between the college and the local carers' centre.
