A sample of members were asked to complete an on-line survey on their readiness to deliver N4 and N5 qualifications next session.

The full results of the survey can be accessed at the following link: https://ssta.org.uk/request.php?35

It is work noting that when asked “How confident are you in your ability to deliver appropriate course materials”, two thirds (65.3%) of respondents felt they were either ‘not at all confident' or ‘not confident'. When asked “How confident are you in your ability to assess your pupils for the new National Qualifications”, over three-quarters (81.5%) were either ‘not at all confident' or ‘not confident'.

A wide range of written comments were submitted and these are included in the full results link.

Thanks to all those who have participated in the survey.
