I recently encouraged readers to consider becoming an SQA External Verifier (EV). We are now formally advertising for EVs. I hope that you consider applying. We’re looking for new EVs in all three of my cognate groups – Computer Science, Digital Literacy and Information Technology. We’re particularly looking for people with experience of the school and university sectors – but don’t let that stop you if you have a different background.

The job of an EV is really interesting. It’s fantastic CPD for you (you will see how other centres carry out their assessment and quality assurance) and there is training and support available to new appointees. So, please consider applying.
