This recording of our free live webinar is for anyone who would appreciate a short session simply introducing the changes in JCQ regulations relating to Access Arrangements for 2023/24 and couldn’t make the live webinar on 30th August.
This webinar introduces the changes for 2023/24 to the JCQ document ‘Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA)’.
The JCQ make it easy to identify the changes each year by highlighting the major modifications in the access arrangements booklet. However, colleagues have expressed interest in a webinar which discusses the key changes, and this is it.
The ‘Introduction to the JCQ Changes 2023/24’ webinar provides an initial overview of updates to the regulations. It is strongly recommended that you follow this up by attending a longer course which covers the changes to the regulations in more depth. Although our Venue and Virtual Conferences have now passed, we offer a year-round comprehensive online update course:
Assessor Patricia summed it up nicely:
‘I attended the ‘Introduction to the JCQ changes’ online webinar in early September, and followed up with the full ‘Update/Refresher for Access Arrangements’ live course. I found the two courses together helpful as I’d already been made aware of the major changes, so the ‘meaty’ content of the live session was easier to absorb.’ - Patricia Dale, Specialist Assessor/Teacher.
The course tutors are Caroline Read, Lia Castiglione and Liz Horobin.
