DEC news
New STEM schools programme added to SCQF
Design Engineer Construct!® has now been formally recognised in Scotland thanks to the key support of the Chartered Institute of Building, and is already piloting in Drummond High School in Edinburgh, Garnock Academy in Kilbirnie, and St Joseph’s Academy in Kilmarnock where student take up and attitude has been impressive.
Comprising an introductory and intermediate programme of study, DEC has been credit rated onto the SCQF by SQA’s Credit Rating Service at SCQF Levels 4 and 6, both carrying 16 credits. SCQF levels 4 and 6 correspond to level 2 and 4 on the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
Geospatial trailblazer
It’s no surprise that our CEO Alison is over the moon to tell the world about the new Geospatial apprenticeship pathways just announced. COYO has worked closely with our lovely friends at Topcon Positioning, The Survey Association and Chartered Institute Of Civil Engineering Surveyors to support the introduction of surveying in our schools.
We’ve already got some great students lined up for a life less ordinary!
