TQ Colleges past events

That's Quality! Colleges is our quality induction event for college officers and those who support them, designed to help new officers engage in quality processes at the college level.  In line with the move to a teriary quality system, in 2022 the event was delivered partly college-specific and partly tertiary.  In 2023 the event is more fully tertiary and we are no longer holding separate college and university events. 

All the previous That's Quality! Colleges event pages are still available below for reference.

That's Quality! Colleges 2022

The 2022 event was split into three parts. The first part of That’s Quality! Colleges was a one-day online event on Thursday 16th June, followed by an online self-study module, providing officers with a more detailed overview of quality in Scotland. Finally, we held a residential event on Monday 8th & Tuesday 9th August in Dundee, which was a joint event with delegates from the university sector. The joint event included a dinner on the first evening, allowing for some much-missed social and networking opportunities.

As a result of seeking feedback from across the sector, the college online event took place earlier in the summer than in previous years. We hope that our early notification of dates allowed students’ associations to build this into college officer inductions, as we appreciate that in some cases officers may have been required to attend before their term of office began.
