This year’s Tutor Conference took place at the Putteridge Bury Conference Centre near Luton.

There was plenty of opportunity to network with trainers from other centres and to meet the ISMM’s Senior Examiners. The format of the conference was based on a number of interactive or informative sessions. There was a mix of presentations, workshops and question and answer opportunities.

Delegates were briefed on Sales Academies, tips for marking assignments and the development of new QCF Sales qualifications to be launched in autumn this year.

Delegates liked the venue and the majority felt that the conference objectives were met and the programme was useful.  Delegates especially liked the sessions on marking and moderation and on the QCF units.

For most of the participants it was their first time at an ISMM Tutor Conference and they found it the ideal place to gain more knowledge and understanding of the qualification levels and suitability for their business and to meet other trainers and teachers.
