KS4
The Technical Award in Finance (TAF) is a vocational qualification which will enable learners to acquire knowledge and skills associated with, and commonly used within, the financial sector. The content of this qualification will cover financial products, finance in business and the financial services sector.
This qualification will focus on developing financial sector-specific knowledge and relevant technical skills in a practical learning environment and thus will be eligible for recognition as a technical award. It is also expected that the qualification forms part of a Key Stage 4 learning programme that enables both academic and vocational progression.
