Notes Foundation Level Syllabus 2011

Overview
On 11 March 2011, the General Assembly voted on and approved the Foundation Level Syllabus 2011. The schedule for implementation and the level of accreditation were approved as well. The CTFL 2011 Syllabus is a minor release in terms of differences with the previous version, as it is mainly a version that improves some short-comings of the CTFL Syllabus 2010. No learning objectives have been changed. This means no re-accreditation of Training Materials used by Training Providers is required.

The effective date for the new syllabus is April 1st 2011. However each National Board can determine a transition period to up to 3 months.
