The qualification template is used to submit your institution's qualifications to HEQCIS, in order to check whether they are already in the system, and to receive the information that will allow you to upload learner records against your qualifications.
This template (HEQCISQualificationTemplate.nnn.xls where nnn indicates the version number of the template) has two discrete functionalities:
The "Qualification data" worksheet
This is the area of the spreadsheet that you use to capture the specific details of your qualifications.
The "Data Checks" worksheet
This is the area of spreadsheet that allows you to see whether the data that you have entered in the "Qualification data" area of the spreadsheet conforms to the expected rules for the template.
