Spring 2013 Network Events for BTEC Quality Nominees 

This spring, we're offering a further series of free, half-day Quality Nominee Network events across the country. In some regions there are separate events for FE colleges and schools, but you'll see that some events are for Quality Nominees in both FE and schools.

If you can't attend one of these face-to-face events, we also have five online events available in May. 

Due to popular demand, we've organised two additional online events.

Face-to-face and online events, March-May 2013

These network events will keep you up to date on quality matters and will give you an opportunity to network with other Quality Nominees.

 The programme for the events will cover:

  • Results of the Quality Nominee survey
  • An overview of the Principal Standards Verifiers’ reports
  • Quality Models using formative and summative assessment
  • An update for FE, including functional skills
  • Quality Assurance for the new NQF BTECs
  • What do I get asked as a Quality Nominee?
  • Starting to plan for 2013-14
