"McDonald's has won approval to offer courses which could form part of a qualification at the standard of A-levels or advanced Diplomas."http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7209276.stm
"I have no problem with MacDonald’s offering training programmes. Far from it. I do have two issues. One - why the hype? Why is the Prime Minister announcing new apprenticeship programmes by a few major companies. The rub is in the detail. MacDonald’s and other organisations will now be able to accredit their own programmes. They will become private examination boards. It could be argued that a number of the examination boards in the UK are effectively private organisations. But their purpose is to accredit learning. MacDonald’s primary purpose is to make p-rofit for shareholders by selling hamburgers."
