Camden LA have rolled out the NQT Manager across the LA and are delighted with the results.
“The use of NQT manager has completely revolutionised the way in which Camden controls and monitors the NQT process. The previous system was paper based which led to mistakes taking a long time to rectify due to the posting and collection of paper based forms, the conversion to a online process this has led to a much quicker and more efficient NQT manager system. The process has allowed for NQT’s to input information into their NQT form allowing Camden to gather the information quickly and precisely. In addition to this, the online assessment process has completely streamlined the way in which Camden gathers assessment information, the system allows NQT tutors, NQT’s and Headteachers to input information online and review on a constant basis the criteria for completing the assessment process.” Joe McLatchie, Training and Development Database Manager, Camden TDS
Surrey started the roll out of the Offsite Learning System across the LA in September 2010 and have seen a successful take up of the system since its launch.
“All external providers in Surrey use the Offsite Learning System to report attendance and track learning progress. With the Yr 9 option process looming, I am confident that the system will accelerate the enrolment and allocation of students.
The eprogress book features have allowed us to track performance throughout courses such as the Higher Diploma, and set up standardised reporting mechanisms. This has made our annual reporting so much more efficient for teachers and administrative staff, saving valuable time and money.”
