Hello All I've been selfishly lurking around this list for ages. At last I've got around to joining! I am currently studying for the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Certificate in Training Practice. For my main project, I am investigating the IT training needs of Assessors here in Brighton with the aim of supporting and promoting their continuing professional development. As part of this, I am gathering information about what other ACCESS centres are doing about Assessors' IT training needs. Any information/materials you could pass on by email or post would be very much appreciated. For example:- Induction training plans for new assessors Your Centre's policy on Assessor training (with an eye on Continuing Professional Development) Assessor competency checklist (might be used when observing & evaluating an Assessment) Details of any informal training provided Training CD ROMs (wishful thinking!) Any E-Learning used (more wishful thinking! Any plans to introduce a training programme Anything else you think might be useful I know that NFAC has set up a Training Panel to develop Assessor training but it hasn't really got started yet. Thanks and kind regards Susan Levy IT Trainer & Resource Coordinator Sussex Regional ACCESS Centre (Formerly Assistive Technology Centre) University of Sussex Falmer Brighton BN1 9QP Tel: 01273 678497 Email: [log in to unmask]
