This virtual conference is for anyone involved in the access arrangements process who wants to update their knowledge for the 2023/24 academic year. It assumes a working knowledge of the JCQ regulations (for our introductory course, please click here).

For those who would prefer face to face update training, we are running courses in Manchester, Birmingham and London, please click here for details.

For those who would prefer to access our pre-recorded video course at a date of their choosing, please click here.

For those who select the Morning Only option, Caroline Read and Lia Castiglione will present a live Update/Refresher for the JCQ regulations 2023/24, set in the context of the changes over the last few years and the regulations as a whole. There will also be the opportunity to take part in a live Q&A.

For those who select the Full Day, in addition to the Update/Refresher for Access Arrangements outlined above, there will be a wide range of seminars focussed on different aspects of the access arrangements process. These seminars will be available to delegates for 2 weeks before, and 2 weeks after the conference date. There will be live Q&A sessions on the conference day with the seminar speakers, and handouts available to download.

There will also be opportunities to network online with those in similar roles or settings, 1:1 appointments with our experts, and colleagues from awarding bodies and the JCQ as well as time to ask questions of publishers, suppliers and software developers.

We will be adding details of seminars for the Communicate-ed Conference 2023 in the next few weeks.

The morning conference session is SASC approved for 3 hours core CPD. Delegates who attend this full session will be emailed a certificate a few days after the conference.

Some of the pre-recorded seminars are SASC-approved. If full day delegates access the SASC-approved seminars, certificates for these will be emailed for these as well, adding SASC-approved CPD hours.
