Improve industry standards

Improve industry standards by getting involved in education

Examiners

We regularly appoint examiners from both the academic and practitioner fields to serve on our 3 assessment panels. Appointments are made on annual basis, the posts are part-time and each activity undertaken attracts a fee.

The main duties include:

• Setting and verifying our examination question papers.
• Marking and moderating candidates' scripts.
• Providing feedback reports to students on their performance and in response to candidate appeals.
• Contributing to maintaining up-to-date syllabuses.

Syllabus reviews

We regularly reviews and evaluates our syllabuses to ensure that our qualifications reflect current best practice, to maintain relevance and credibility and to meet the needs of industry.

Issues identified for review must have a broad consensus of opinion from our interest groups which include: examiners; academics; employers and other professional practitioners; students; tutors at FE/HE colleges and consultants. Volunteers are always welcome from these various interest groups.

Every effort is made to encompass the views of all interest groups when identifying issues and when consulting and seeking feedback to potential 'solutions'.

Lecturing

Local colleges are always looking for individuals to lecture on a part time basis, particularly on specialist subjects.  A teaching qualification is not necessary, although you may be encouraged to work towards one.
