Dear Quality Nominee,

You said, we did!

The Vocational Quality Assurance Management team have been busy revamping our on-demand CPD offer. 

The pandemic caused challenging times with regards to internal assessment and centres have been telling us they would benefit from a ‘back to basics’ approach to their roles and responsibilities, and BTEC assessment rules.

We are delighted to share our new on-demand CPD offer which is available on our Quality Assurance Events & Support webpage, applicable to BTEC Entry Level/Level 1 Introductory through to Level 3 qualifications. 

Each package includes a short video, an activity to consolidate understanding, the answers, and a PDF copy of the video presentation.
