That?s right, McDonald’s has been granted power to award its own qualifications up to the equivalent of A-level standard.

It?s not the only company to be given the thumbs up by Brown, who is desperately trying to boost the country?s skills shortage. Network Rail and FlyBe, the budget airline, have also won approval to offer the new diplomas.
