More news

I am delighted to welcome some more new members to the Businesss and Administration Subject Network and Practitioners Plus. Please encourage your colleagues to join the community at http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/sfeucommunities/ppregister.asp.

The HNC/Ds in Accounting, Administration and Information Technology and Business have recently been revised and validated and will be effective from 1 August 2010. The current frameworks will then go into their lapsing period and will finish 31 July 2013 for HNC and 31 July 2014 for HND. SQA is holding an event to give information on the newly revised HN group awards on Wednesday 21 April at Stirling Management Centre. Book a place through the SQA HN subject pages.

I attended the first NQGA Network Event on Thursday 25 February. There were some interesting ideas and discussions and as there is is funding available to support Colleges it is a great opportunity.

Hot off the Press! Training in International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the differences between IAS and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP) to meet changes in accounting practices. Watch this space for more information.

Check the resources page on Practitioners Plus for links to some new learning and teaching materials.
