(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which extend to Scotland only, set out the standard of achievement which is prescribed for the purposes of section 63A(1)(c) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. An employee who has not attained the standard of achievement has a right to take time off for study or training leading to a relevant qualification.

The Regulations also list the qualification awarding bodies which are specified for the purposes of section 63A(2)(c) of that Act as being able to award or authenticate a relevant qualification.
