- To devise a programme that develops the essential skills and capabilities that meet employer needs, incorporating employer engagement in ways that enhance the applied work-oriented learning.
- To ensure that there is clear progression into and beyond the Diploma, by defining clear progression routes and by meeting the entry requirements of Higher Education.
