I’d like to offer a belated welcome back. I’ve recently returned to work after taking a post-Christmas holiday.<\/p>\n
The team has a busy year coming up. We’re in the middle of developing a new National Progression Award in Data Science, which is progressing well<\/a>. This will be available to schools, colleges and training centres from August<\/strong>. We’re also producing more support materials for NPA Cyber Security<\/a>, which is popular in Scottish schools. Please contact Lorraine<\/a> about these projects. The HN Review is about to commence<\/a>, which will update a suite of popular Higher National awards. We’re looking for members of the QDT for that development, if you’re interested. HND Cyber Security is currently in development<\/a>. A team of writers is currently producing the units for that award. And we’re about to explore the feasibility<\/a> of developing a new HNC\/D Data Science. Please contact Caitlin<\/a> about this work.<\/p>\n The annual Computing Conference is coming up next week<\/a>. There’s still time to register if you’re interested.<\/p>\n You can keep up to date with developments in a number of ways. You can subscribe to this blog (see panel on left) or follow us on Twitter<\/a> or simply send an e-mail to computing@sqa.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’d like to offer a belated welcome back.
