Description
We are seeking to commission at least one flexible, modular preparation programme to support the three regions of Scotland so that the provision reflects the opportunities and principles set out in the NES Community Education and Career Pathway. The intention is to maximise access for practitioners across all community settings and to ensure that the programme is delivered predominantly at a distance or in a hybrid format, enabling participation regardless of geographical location, including remote and rural areas. Programmes should be designed to accommodate the workforce, with part‑time, work‑based study patterns that integrate learning with practice.
