This one-day CPD event is a follow on from an event held in October 2018 which introduced QQI Policies and Criteria for the Validation of Programmes of Education and Training for the first time. As with the previous event, an opportunity will be provided for those planning, managing and co-ordinating programme development activities within a provider to begin to familiarise themselves with the QQI document Policies and Criteria for the Validation of Programmes of Education and Training (first published in 2016).

Providers who have developed programmes (apprenticeship, programmes leading to CAS awards and programmes leading to non-CAS awards) validated by QQI and that adhere to QQI Policies and Criteria for the Validation of Programmes of Education and Training will also share their insights into the highs and lows of the programme development process in light of the requirements of the QQI validation policy.

This professional development day will support goal 2 of the Further Education and Training Professional Development Strategy 2017-2019 in the following strategic priority area: Quality assurance

The target audience for this CPD event is: FET staff with a role in planning, managing and co-ordinating programme development activities within a provider.
