I had planned to post this message before the schools and colleges stopped for the Summer. I still miss my long Summer holidays (I enjoyed 22 years of them) but, on the plus side, it’s a good time for me to catch up with things since the office is relatively quiet for the next few weeks. And it’s nice to take my own holidays when it’s cheaper and quieter.

Me and my team will be busy over the Summer. We are organising the pilot of Digital Passport (and developing support materials for that award), commencing the review of PC Passport, producing assessents for the revised NC Computing with Digital Media award, finalising a new CBQ in Information Security, getting the review of HNC/D Interactive Media off the ground, deciding what to do with HNC/D Information Technology, finalising new HN Units on big data, and considering some new qualifications in the area of cyber security.

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter. Even if you’re enjoying the beach, it won’t take long to check the team’s tweets. And we’ll be sure to advertise opportunities to work with us on Twitter.
