Lesson 4.1: Navigating the QCP Curator Interface

Description: In this lesson, you will follow a practical walkthrough of the QCP Curator Interface, using a real qualification from South Africa. You will learn how to add organisations, how to enter a qualification across its six sections, and how a qualification moves through its editorial statuses, from draft to publication.

By the end of this Lesson, you will be able to:

  • Navigate the QCP Curator Interface and access the key menus for managing qualifications and organisations.
  • Create and edit qualification records by completing mandatory fields, linking organisations, and using controlled vocabularies.
  • Manage related data, such as learning outcomes, credit points, awarding opportunities, accreditation and learning opportunities, within your national virtual space.
  • Use editorial statuses to move a qualification from draft to publication, and eventually to archiving.
