ABP Guidance and Support Event
On Thursday 29 October ABP held a free training day for approved centres.
Two academic staff from each institute were invited to attend and, under the careful guidance of the ABP trainer, delegates developed sample assessment instruments such as assignment briefs and exam-style questions. Attendees were also given a comprehensive training pack which will support their centre’s on-going assessment and internal verification activities.
When asked to evaluate the event, delegate’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive and their excellent comments and suggestions will help to make the next training event even more worthwhile.
ABP provides Quality Assurance Support Visits in the form of bespoke guidance and training. This support is in relation to assessment and quality assurance of our internally assessed qualifications. Centres interested in this should email: info@abp.org.uk
