Team responsibilities

I’ve now divided divided responsibilities between Claudia and Emma, and updated the organisation chart for the team. You can download it here. It’s worth downloading and printing so that you know who to contact about each qualification. The division of work isn’t as clean as it was before Helen left since it’s not a simple advanced/non-advanced split. There’s a reason for that. Emma was in the middle of important development work and I didn’t want to interrupt that by handing…

Hello

Hello, I’m Claudia Lambie and have recently joined the Computing team to cover Helen’s post whilst she’s on maternity leave.

Claudia has previously worked for SQA (as a Qualifications Officer) so although the portfolio will be new to her, SQA won’t be, which will be a big help. Claudia’s previous experience is with school-based National Qualifications so vocational awards will be new. Claudia will introduce herself once she…
