Academy Live: VN External Examiner

This Academy Live session provides you with an opportunity to learn with and from your VN External Examiner peers.

Who is this for: 

This session is for New and existing VN External Examiners

Utilising a seminar type approach, we will cover the value of the role, and examples of how you can improve your approach, considering the elements you have learnt from the course.

Additionally, we will discuss specific areas of the Standards that are routinely harder to evidence, or generally demonstrate poorer compliance, with a peer-learning discussion on how you can support improvements. 

 This session is designed to be interactive and developmental – there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and engage with your peers.

Learning outcomes:

• Consider and discuss the four pillars of the role, why these are important and what these look like to you.
• Identify challenging areas of the Standards, the evidence requests to support this and the opportunity to consider report phrasing to better communicate the issues.
