Vocational Qualifications, Online Courses, Coaching, Personal and Professional Development
Over the last few weeks, we’ve written a lot about assessment: about the growing shortage of assessors across the UK, about what recent regulatory failures tell FE providers, and about what it actually looks like when someone moves from experienced practitioner to qualified assessor. Pull those threads together and one theme runs through all of […]
