SEEC Calendar of meetings and events for 2010-11

News of new events and forthcoming meetings willl be posted here as it becomes available. Individual Network Group members will receive invitations to the meetings, with minutes from the previous meeting, about a month before the date.

Detailed programmes and booking forms for the Professional Development Seminars are sent to the larger SEEC mailing list as soon as they are available. You can email the Administrator at any time to be sent further information about these activities. The Network Group meetings are free practitioner forums, and are open to staff from institutions that are members of SEEC. Professional Development Seminars (day seminars) are open to everybody, and there is a charge for them. Staff from SEEC member institutions receive 50% discount on this charge.

What SEEC does

SEEC* is a highly respected authority in the existing and developing field of Credit Accumulation and Transfer (CATS) at higher education levels. SEEC serves as a reference point on credit-based learning, structures and processes in the UK and, now, in the developing field of European credit. This website will guide you through the detail of who we are and what we do, and answer questions such as:

  • What’s credit? the basics of credit for learning, including guidance on accreditation of prior learning, for learners, employers and educational organisations
  • Why be a member? how an educational or professional institution can become a member of SEEC, to gain from the professional support it offers
  • What’s in it for us? SEEC’s regular professional development events - one day seminars and workshops on the practical implementation of credit processes and applications
  • How can I get support and ideas? Join SEEC network groups based around key issues under discussion in the HE field
  • What can I download? some of our publications are available online, and you can purchase others
  • Can I present a paper at a SEEC conference? Annual conference booking and reports
  • What else? See the range of consultations and reports that we have developed, and are currently involved in, stimulating debate on all aspects of credit and related issues and contributing to continuing professional development

*Originally the South East England Consortium for Credit Accumulation & Transfer, SEEC has grown to cover institutions in the south and southern midlands of the UK. NUCCAT is the corresponding consortium for the northern half of UK, although organisations can belong to both consortia.
