Community Events - rolling schedule
Join our community to get access to the events, including the free events. Below is an outline of our basic schedule, which is repeated monthly. Don't forget, we will add meetings, CPD and events in line with the communities feedback and needs... but you need to be part of the community to participate.
Don't forget to check out the different tiers of membership and join for access to any meetings.

Mondays, weekly at 9am
Start the week with a trouble shooting session! Our Verified! Session gives weekly access to Academy and Education members to be able to ask Education and Training related questions. These could be about any part of the teaching, learning and assessment cycle. It's an on-hand IQA!
If there are no set questions from the community, our IQA will talk about the most prevalent topic that has presented to them recently.
Engage, give an opinion, or join in listen only mode. However you connect, this will be valuable information!
