SQA Connections — NPA Computing Technology

As part of SQA’s annual Connections week, we had a session on the new National Progression Award (NPA) in Computing Technology. This qualification was developed last session and the lead developer (a practising teacher) delivered yesterday’s session. There was an excellent turnout, with 25 people in attendance, which illustrates the interest in this new qualification.

I took the opportunity to let people know that the qualification is now validated! It’s taken a while but we got there. We’re now in the process of coding and publishing the group award, which will be done before the end of this month (October). All of the component units are available now.

Please contact Gayle if you want a copy of yesterday’s presentation or want to find out more about this award.
