We’ve made good progress with the development of HNC Computer Games Development and HND Esports since my last update<\/a>. We’re now approaching the final stages in the development process.<\/p>\n

The validation event for HNC Computer Games Development will take place in January (date to be decided) and for HND Esports in December (10th). So we’re looking for people to serve on the respective validation panels. The purpose of validation is for a group of independent people<\/strong> (people who have not been involved in the development) to scrutinise the proposed qualifications. The panel normally comprises representatives from education, industry, national bodies and special interest groups.<\/p>\n

These events take place online and only last a couple of hours so your commitment would be relatively small — and you’d be making an important contribution to Scottish education.<\/p>\n

Please contact Emma<\/a> if you would consider serving on the HNC panel and contact Helen <\/a>if you would consider serving on the HND panel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
