If any centres would like to receive leaflets to display on their stand at the Dublin ICT Expo exhibition on 4 and 5 May, please contact JEB as soon as possible.
These leaflets should enable you to attract potential candidates to your next JEB programme.
JEB receives a very positive monitoring report from QCA
In January and February the regulatory authorities for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (QCA, ACCAC and CEA) carried out monitoring activities relating to the procedures and processes put in place by JEB for its accredited qualifications.
The monitoring involved scrutiny of JEB's governance, resources and expertise, quality assurance and control of assessment, determining and reporting of results and registration processes. In addition to the time spent at the JEB office visits were made to six centres in England and Northern Ireland.
We have now received the post accreditation monitoring report which shows only one accreditation condition and this has now been met!
The results of this monitoring process should assure you that JEB is an Awarding Body which operates to the highest quality standards.
