Evaluation of HE Short Course Trials

19/01/2023

The Office for Students appointed CRAC to evaluate a programme it is running with the Department for Education to trial higher education short courses as part of the Government’s approach to delivering the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE).  Within this programme, 22 HE institutions and colleges developed new short courses in a variety of disciplinary areas vital to the future economy.

CRAC monitored the development and launch of new courses by these providers and participation by students on the new courses. We implemented a variety of analysis and research to provide an evaluation of the overall programme. We also supported the funded providers to consider evaluation measures as they developed these courses.
