The world of vocational and professional qualifications is changing as we see the impact of new qualifications like Functional Skills and the QCF, growing expectations from learners raised in the digital age of Facebook, youtube and SMS, and employers operating in a global market, the challenges of using the new established techniques and processes such as e-assessment and e-portfolios and the opportunities presented by tablets, smart phones, cloud computing and the like.
The impact on awarding organisations, colleges, providers and professional bodies will be profound
Come along and help us examine some of these profound changes and the impact they are having on both formative and summative assessment. The fee for the conference is £190 per delegate plus VAT
Bookings can be made online at www.e-vocational.co.uk.
We trust you or one of your colleagues will be able to join us for what will certainly prove to be an invaluable and thought-provoking event.
