Initial\u00a0training sessions\u00a0take place this month for Numeracy, Reading, Writing and the newly included element of Talking and Listening. There will be a further 2 rounds of training this session and the whole programme covers: the teaching\/learning\/moderation process including high quality assessment; ensuring the quality and relevant of evidence; identifying achievement of a level.<\/li>\n<li>This review also inspired more effective linkage between 4th level and\u00a0national qualifications. Training\u00a0events have been arranged to enable QAMSO moderation between levels.<\/li>\n<li>QAMSO can now gain Professional Recognition by demonstrating that they have attended relevant meetings\/training, collected moderated evidence and shared locally and\/or nationally, planned\/led regional moderation events, submitted a moderated portfolio of evidence and\/or contributed to the Understanding Standards support bank.
