Culture, Communications, Cymraeg and Sport Committee

Yes, Mike. Would you like to offer your comments?

I'll start off in public and I might want to carry this on in private. We need some set of rules regarding this. During the time of the last Senedd, I ended up dealing with a number of constituents who'd accepted places on courses, only to discover the courses were not going to be funded because they were being run not by the main college that organised it, but by other colleges, and the degrees were managed by and given by the other college. I think that we need to look at that in some detail, or the education committee needs to look at it in some detail. As you're all aware, students applying for courses, when they see a course and see accreditation, don't realise the accreditation is only for the main provider, not for anybody who's providing the course as a sub-provider.

Yes, I would agree with you there, definitely. That's something that we will discuss further on in the meeting. It will be coming up. Thank you very much.

We'll move on to ask if all the Members are content to note the papers. Yes, thank you.
