2008 Forum
The 2008 Adult education and training providers forum was held on the 29th July. This years event was hosted by ArmyQual the NZ Army GTE at the Linton Miltary Camp, Palmerston North.
well, someone is very keen- well done. I found this meeting a very clam and composed one and wonder whether 2/3 things might be contributing to that- 1)the activity in the revision of two sets of unit standards and the rats+mice, recently, also the understanding that the qualifications themselves have begun the revision process; 2) the composition of the group- ie who attended and why- I wouldn't dare to hazard a guess why most of us were there, but for me it is a regular way of connecting with others and getting a feel for the important issues and alas I think they are about compliance and sufficiency and moderation- although look how well received the presentation from Liz Bowen-Clewley was, so I may be quite wrong. I think other venues are the true professional discussion arenas, although I would dearly love at least one "informative and challenging" presentation or workshop at each meeting. Congratulations to Andy and Fiona for a very smooth meeting indeed. Willie
