Sector Panel meets to discuss NC review

The Sector Panel for Computing & Call Centres held its third meeting this morning. The main purpose of the Panel is to provide strategic guidance to SQA. The focus for today's meeting was the review of National Certificate provision.

I wanted guidance from the Panel on the general direction of the review. Walter Patterson gave a presentation on the background and also the current thinking on where we're heading. He received some excellent advice and it was very consoling that the Panel endorsed the Qualification Design Team's current thinking.

There is a dedicated online community for the NC review or contact Angela if you have specific queries. Walter can be contacted by e-mail if you want to provide feedback.
