The Nuts & Bolts of Awarding!

Now running for over 10 years, the AO-Forum is an annual conference which attracts 100-150 delegates each spring. The aim of the AO-forum is to provide pragmatic, down-to-earth advice to awarding bodies. Many of our speakers are senior AO practitioners who discuss their own projects, processes and experiences with a view to sharing best practice with their peers. We believe that it is also important to hear the latest news from the regulatory bodies and our conferences always feature key representatives from Ofqual, ESFA and other industry bodies.
