Current developments

Online database Moderation NIBAS

Online database

Needed to get accurate data Should ease admin burden – no annual

reports Data protection – no one sees names

except centre. You can enter data without names.

Database will generate unique candidate code that validates certificates

Uploading old data may be done on a bespoke basis.

Now live – login through NICAS website

Moderations

3 year cycle for PCs and 5 year cycle for ACs?Self–audit sent with video to NICASFull moderation – visit by TE to observe

session. Confidentiality agreements with ABCTT Designed to be supportive- not

‘inspections’, but also to advise on delivery and standards of the scheme.

Any concerns outside the scheme dealt with separately directly with the centre.

5 level scheme but independent of NICAS Very similar structure and admin to NICAS Centre registration independent of NICAS TA could be Primary Centre CD, existing TA

or an independent CWA Specific instructor and centre

requirements for each level Trial this autumn and public offering by
