Listening to our members feedback with have created a 1-day conference specifically aimed at managers and operational staff responsible for planning, running and measuring the impact of Tutorial Programmes.
This in-person event offers valuable networking opportunities, practical workshops, and expert-led discussions designed to provide delegates with really practical ideas, strategies and resources to take back to their own college. It is also a great chance to meet peers from other organisations who experience the same challenges and understand the issues faced by Tutorial Teams across the UK.
Please take a look at the workshops choices before booking your tickets.
This event is also open to non NAMSS members. Save money on Conference Tickets by clicking here to become a NAMSS member before booking.
Our conference is sponsored by the Skills Network

While qualifications are important, it is all the other skills that will enable a young person to get a job and help them get on in life. With employers, Ofsted, and the government expecting an individualised approach and an expanding range of tutorial support, it is a challenge for every education and training setting to meet these demands working within the financial constraints faced by the sector. The Skills Network is proud to be sponsors of this event, focussing on such a vital element of the learner journey at such a critical time.
