Professional Development is... “the process which keeps us interested in our work,

gives us the drive to progress and is something we do every day of our lives without even thinking about it.  It is essential to maintain high levels of professional competence by continually improving knowledge and skills, keeping abreast of new technology and practice and also by taking ownership of your career.  It ultimately, makes us employable throughout our working lives.”

Jill Hilton ,School Workforce Development Officer, Wigan

Professional Development - Why?

To promote qualified examination community

“As School Workforce Advisor I felt it was important that

we support our Examination Officers in this qualification as a recognition of the skills and the professionalism they need in carrying out what is an increasingly demanding role. We see the BTEC as a developmental qualification providing opportunities to meet and share information with other EOs while analysing and reflecting on ones own practice in school which is a very powerful process.”

Jane Reynolds Stockton-on Tees

Professional Development - Why?

To give individuals a relevant qualification

“I want my team to be as qualified in our vocational area as any other department in the college and to be recognised as highly qualified. Each member of my team has a relevant BTEC qualification”

Professional Development - Why

Help safeguard jobs

“Not knowing what will happen when schools merge I want to be able to secure the post of exam officer. The qualification can help towards this”

“With all the restructuring in our area I want to show that I am committed to the role of exam officer showing that I want and

do the job”
