As far as I know B20032 is not being deactivated until December 2013, so yes that probably means that you would be ale to use the "old" Module Descriptor for the coming academic year. However you should check this with your provider just to make sure.

Also there should be a more detailed breakdown of requirements of the FETAC Module Descriptor. FAS has just recently made these available to tutors on FAS courses at Level 5 so I assume these have also been completed by the VECs etc at this stage.
