Training Events at HQ in Old Street
In September the Institute held training events at its offices in Old Street for the first time with an Oral Language Modifier day for exams officers and learning assistants in September followed by a CEA 2-day training and assessment event in October. The latter event included potential CEAs from all sectors of the education system as well as two delegates from the compliance authority of the FSA, underlining the need for quality assured assessment processes in a variety of training contexts
The CIEA has a number of training events and qualifications on offer. CIEA's training is now considered to be the most enjoyable and successful training in assessment in the UK.

All of the packages we offer can be tailored to your centre's needs. It may be more cost-efficient, for example, to join with another school or college to create a larger audience. Or perhaps your school or college has twilight insets where we could deliver training in smaller units. We know that such training will always add value: to teaching and learning and to the improved results that stem directly from an understanding of the assessment process.
The training packages we offer are many and varied:
Chartered Educational Assessor Training. The role of the CEA is to quality assure the assessment processes that a school, college or workplace uses. The training involves a two day workshop in which the delegates are taken through the key principles of assessment. Delegates move on to work on individual projects of their own choice leading to a submission of a portfolio of evidence.To check the details and learn how to apply read more.
