Quality Arrangements. The pursuit and achievement of high quality learning, teaching and learner experiences is a key driver for the College, featuring strongly within our vision, purpose and ambitions. Comprehensive systems are in place to review and enhance curriculum quality, planning, outcomes, and target setting. These systems include detailed self-evaluation by academic and support teams and audit, feedback and review arrangements involving the Board of Management, Executive, Learners, Staff, Employers, and Awarding/Certification Bodies. The College is committed fully to the Education Scotland/SFC quality arrangements and has engaged positively in the creation of our first Evaluation Report and Enhancement Plan under the new quality framework arrangements. Work is progressing to meet fully the requirements of reporting in 2018, including the publication of endorsed grades in respect of our Leadership and Quality Culture; Delivery of Learning and Services to Support Learning; and Outcomes and Impacts. Levels of learner retention and success are consistently “sector leading” for the College as a whole, with significant strengths evident across almost all curricular provision. Whilst 2016/17 has seen a small dip in this performance, robust measures are in place to ensure that this high level of successful outcome continues as a long-term trend. As a part of this focus the College is committed fully to the work being undertaken through the Scottish Government FE Retention project. Levels of learner satisfaction and post course success are above sector average, and work will progress through the period of this agreement to further gather and track employer satisfaction in respect of learner skills and attributes.
