The idea behind the support network is to provide a platform for peer support. Of course, Qualifications Scotland staff and external verifiers are happy to respond to those questions that we can answer.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, only specific qualifications will be supported &#8212; those that we receive the most enquiries about. So, for example, there will be a dedicated channel for NPA Cyber Security and another for NPA Esports. But, over time, we will increase the qualifications supported in this way. Of course, the General channel is open to everyone and you&#8217;re welcome to ask about any qualification there.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, we&#8217;ve used a number of services to provide support. Some of you will remember Yahoo Groups, Egroups and Smartgroups. These services worked well but, ultimately, the service provider closed them down. Hopefully, Teams is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>So, I hope you choose to join the team.
