Exhibitions, conferences, events in January 2014

Lots and lots happening in Functional Skills in January - see below.

AELP webinars
AELP have organised a series of webinars aimed at front-line staff who assist learners to improve their English and Maths skills, on a day-to-day basis within non-specialist provision – they are especially useful where those staff have limits to their own skills in these areas.
Developing your delivery of English and maths skills takes place on Tuesday January 21st at 2pm and can be booked on-line.
Developing your delivery of ICT functional skills takes place on Thursday 30th January at 2pm.  

AELP members pay £69 for each webinar which also includes access to the recording and presentation slides.

Major exhibitions - Learning Technologies, Skills Summit and BETT
It's that time of the year again, the exhibition season starts with BETT running from January 22-26 at the Excel Centre in London.  Jonathan Wells of Guroo will be there on stand C484 with partners Akhter Computers.  Guroo will be launching their latest product powered by Guroo - GCSE Assess, featuring full GCSE diagnostics and direct links to tutorial videos.  If you’d like to know more about what Guroo is doing for GCSE, simply email us and we'll keep you up to date!

The week after, Guroo are off to Olympia on stand 329 for the joint Learning and Skills / Learning Technologies exhibition.  It takes place on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th.

Guroo will also be taking an active part at the Skills Summit in Central London on Tuesday 28th January.  This is a high level conference, speakers include the Minister for Skills, Matthew Hancock.

Maths and English Skills Conference
Of direct interest to those involved in Functional Skills will be this EMSkills organised conference in Birmingham on Friday 30th January.
The previous events have been very well attended, speakers this month include Stewart Segal of AELP, Barry Brooks and Maureen Emmett.  The theme of this conference is policy and practice.
Guroo (the UK's best provider of Functional Skills solutions) will be there as usual, as will (we believe) all the other providers of Functional Skills resources.  This conference in the past has been a great opportunity to compare offers from all providers, take this chance to find out why Guroo is the best!
