Sir Martyn Oliver’s recent address at the AoC Conference marks a significant shift in Ofsted’s approach to further education inspection. His speech not only acknowledges the sector’s unique challenges but also sets out a roadmap for meaningful change that could transform how quality is assessed and improved across FE provision. Mark Simpkins, a Further Education Quality Consultant, takes a deeper look into Sir Martyn’s speech: https://bit.ly/4iq6ZhY #ReedFurtherEducation #FurtherEducation #AoC #Inspections #FE

Exam nerves. Now is the time of year when everyone talks about them. But we don't often shine a light on #apprentices who suffer from them, too. Progressive EPAOs like @ConstructionEPA know that the fewer nerves apprentices have, the better they can perform at EPA. That's just one of the reasons we teamed up with @risr/ to integrate their trusted assessment platform directly into epaPRO. Why not read about how @Jasmine Lewis' team is driving EPA excellence at her EPAO? ➡️ https://bit.ly/3yJvogb #exam #assessment #EPA #EPAO

We make a promise to our students - that we will always put them, their success, and their holistic skills development at the forefront of what we do. Over the years I have witnessed that students who go the extra mile, who are challenged and engaged, will succeed. Our programmes allow learners the opportunity to understand how to study effectively, how to push themselves further than they ever thought possible, and how to be successful – both in their studies and beyond. -Dr. Rod Brazier, Principal LCCA #LCCA #BeLimitless

Fantastic turnout for our Preparing for EPA webinar today! Here are some key takeaways: Tips for coaches: 1) Register apprentices early – we as EPAO can then maximise availability according to the gateway dates we see. 2) The assessment plan must be followed - and our Toolkits include the same requirements, such as submission deadlines. 3) If a portfolio doesn’t make sense to you as the coach, it won’t make sense to the assessor. Tips for apprentices: 1) Don’t use new tools at the last minute – stick to what you know best and can confidently demonstrate at EPA. 2) Listen carefully to the question the assessor asks – don’t jump in. 3) If your EPA involves carrying out a project for your organisation, make sure to schedule the activity so planning can start after gateway. #epa #epao #1stforepa #providers #coaches John Pritchard

STEP's 2024 CPD Audit is almost over and the deadline for submissions is 27 October 2024. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted and we encourage everyone else to do so. In this quote Robin McGhee TEP, member of STEP’s Professional Standards Committee comments on the importance of CPD: 'Regardless of your profession, role, qualifications or experience it is important to recognise that there will always be new things to learn. We owe it to our clients, our employers and ourselves to develop our skills and competencies - CPD is at the heart of this. CPD forms an integral part of what we are and what we should be doing as STEP members. We should be motivated to conduct it and should never consider it as a ‘tick the box’ exercise.' #CPD #ContinuousLearning
