MY CIPP
How does IPPe ensure its learners receive the experience they deserve?
Joanne Leather MCIPPdip, education manager at IPP Education Ltd, shares details of this year’s Tutor and Assessor Training Conference 2024 and highlights its focus on quality and standardisation
I PPE, as an Ofqual registered awarding organisation, has a responsibility to ensure that our tutors, moderators and assessors undertake development opportunities throughout the year. Every July, we bring together our amazing teams for a conference of guidance and training, helping them keep up to date and develop the required skills to offer our learners the experience they deserve. Networking plays a large part in the development too, as sharing knowledge and experiences enhances growth, but perhaps most importantly collaboration between the education teams allows us all to hone our skills. The Tutor and Assessor Training Conference 2024 content was heavily focussed on quality and standardisation but the event, which took place both online and face to face, was also about the celebration of our teaching and assessing teams. IPPE’s tutors, moderators and assessors are also working practitioners within the payroll, pensions or reward industries. In their educational roles, these individuals are far more than conveyors of content
and quality; they are coaches, mentors, emotional supporters and a calm presence for our students. They dedicate their time to the next generation of payroll and pension leaders and contribute to these industries with their skills and knowledge. IPPE highly values these incredibly talented and caring people. “The CIPP and IPPE pride themselves on the culture the businesses practice and promote. Our
Conference 2024 demonstrated these values with an itinerary that showcased our commitment to educating and supporting the industries that we serve. Teamwork always plays a part in any event, with collaboration from the education, events, design and membership teams to enable the day to run smoothly and efficiently. Outside of these planning and execution stages though is the collaboration of all the teaching and assessing teams and the way they support each other throughout the year. There is a heartwarming sense of community and genuine care when we all get together. Trust and honesty are the values I most appreciate. Andrew Pain was our motivational speaker this year. He discussed imposter syndrome and also spoke about psychological safety. At IPPE we promote psychological safety throughout our teams, believing that every individual should feel empowered to have their say and be respectfully heard. This value was demonstrated during the conference with discussions seeking the tutors’ and assessors’ views on content for future development of
company values are held in high regard”
