The future of the teaching, assessment and quality assurance qualifications – have your say

You might be aware that last year the teaching, and the assessment and quality assurance qualifications (often known as TAQA) were extended from July 2018 to July 2020.

The Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB) and the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) are currently conducting a survey regarding each (February 2019).

If you would like to take part, just click on the following links:

• Award, Certificate and Diploma in Education and Training

• Assessment and Quality Assurance

The Award, Certificate and Diploma in Education and Training were originally introduced in 2013, and the TAQA units in 2010. You might feel it’s time for a change or an update, or you might just feel they are fine as they are.

However, if you have something to say, it’s best to say it whilst you have the chance.

Hopefully I’ll have more news ready for my CPD event in Leeds on June 14^th (just a little plug there!).
