Due to the significant pressure on public sector budgets, we’re no longer holding in-person Understanding Standards events. Our programme now consists of webinars only. Most webinars last around an hour, though some are longer, and some follow an online workshop format.
The following webinars are free to join and can contribute to your continuing professional development (CPD). CPD certificates will be available on our event booking system shortly after each webinar.
We’ll publish recordings of the webinars on the subject pages of this website for anyone who is unable to attend on the day.
If you have any questions, please call our Events Team on 0345 213 5580 or email sqaevents@sqa.org.uk
