Webinars

Programme 2026 - 2027

Understanding Standards webinars focus on helping teachers, lecturers and assessors to develop their understanding of national standards for course and/or unit assessment.

Webinars last around an hour, though some are longer. To allow attendees to interact and ask questions, there is a limit to the number of spaces available at each webinar. We’ll publish recordings of the webinars for anyone who is unable to attend on the day.

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.

If you have any questions, please call our Events Team on 0345 213 5580 or email events@qualifications.gov.scot
