The exemptions listed are the only non CAS exemptions that can be submitted by a provider on behalf of a learner achieving a CAS major award. The following conditions apply:

• Completion of due diligence checks to ensure that the previous qualification is genuine.
• Only awards which are no more than five years old, may be used to claim an exemption.
• Only when the learner is in a position to achieve a major CAS award can the relevant exemption(s) be submitted for certification.

Where a learner holding an award that is not on this published list seeks recognition of that award from a provider, the provider must use RPL.
