Paula Steven, MSE, RS/REHS, CIH, CSP, QEP on LinkedIn: READ THIS POST- Everyone has been waiting for information about the CIH… (2024)

In preparation for my #AIHAConnect presentation, "How to Train for and Beat the CIH Exam" (Wed, May 22 at 9:15am in A125), I've confirmed with Lance J. Welter of the Board for Global EHS Credentialing (BGC®) that the on-screen calculator available for #CIH candidates will be TI-30XS. This is great news! For those preparing for the exam, I would recommend using Pearson Vue's digital version for at least some of your practice exam questions. It will be important to build some "muscle memory" before you sit for the actual exam. We will discuss strategies in my AIHA session tomorrow, and in the Bowen EHS CIH Review course. You can access Pearon Vue's "Test Drive" sample example by following this link: https://lnkd.in/d8Bc4MzH

Just a reminder that AIIM International has updated the CIP practice exam. It closely mimics the actual exam and leverages retired exam questions to be even more relevant. Take the FREE practice exam here: https://lnkd.in/gVqiiFEJ

🎉 This is a bit of a new year miracle (well, actually an end of December one to be honest as I finished this off last month!) Normally my CPD points are completed about a week before the deadline, when I suddenly remember I'm three points under the total needed. 2023 was different as I committed myself to completing the #CIPR75 challenge and clocked up 75 points by the end of December... three months ahead of the usual deadline and 15 more points than normal. I've covered topics as varied as:🧠 the use of psychology in campaign design🤖 AI in PR 💻 writing comment articles ❓ everyday ethics in PR 💪 powerful proposals📩 delivering the right messageAnd lots, lots more...It's been useful, insightful and interesting. And it's definitely made a difference in my day to day work.So on to the next CPD cycle in a few months time. No guarantees that it won't be a last-minute rush again next year though.#cipr

If you are following the EU #AIAct very closely - for practical compliance purposes - note that there are slight differences between the latest leaked and COREPER-approved versions.The most important one I have identified so far is the resolved issue with recital 8a on emotion recognition systems.The leaked draft contained two mutually exclusive statements on whether systems that detect physical (physiological) states such as fatigue in pilots and drivers are a subset of emotion recognition systems, or not.One sentence stated that they are, while the other stated that they are not.In the COREPER-approved draft, this discrepancy has been resolved to the effect that systems that detect physical (physiological) states such as fatigue ARE NOT a subset of emotion recognition systems, but a separate class.As a result, fatigue detection systems are not subject to the general rules provided for emotion recognition systems. However, when used to monitor behaviour at work, in education or during vocational training, both classes of systems are still deemed high-risk under Annex III of the Act, and are therefore subject to respective developer and deployer obligations and safeguards.Kudos to all colleagues working in the background on resolving these kinds of text issues at this crucial stage!

Would you like to share your insights and ideas about good assessment and qualification design, development and delivery with colleagues from other AOs and EPAOs? Perhaps you have found an innovative solution to an assessment issue, or you have an interesting case study to discuss?On 18 April 2024, the first industry-led VTQ Research and Reflective Practice Forum will take place. The Forum is unique in that the overall content and structure for the event is led by a committee of volunteers who all currently work at AOs and EPAOs in assessment, qualifications, regulation and leadership roles. These volunteers are supported by Ofqual and the Federation of Awarding Bodies’ Awarding and Assessment Academy, who are organising and facilitating the overall event on behalf of the awarding sector.We are looking for contributors from the awarding and assessment community to share their insights on any issue or topic related to vocational and technical assessment, such as:• Accessibility and assessment design• AI and technology – threats and opportunities• Assessment literacy• Assessment strategies, methods, development• Centre assessment, marking, standardisation and training• Ensuring good validity and reliability• Quality assurance and quality improvement• Qualification development• Standards and assessment plans• Use of data in awarding.Contributions should ask questions about how we work on assessment, supporting/challenging established ideas or proposing new ones. They may be informed by research and/or reflections on working practices.The deadline for proposals is 6 November 2023.Read the full Call for Contributions here: https://lnkd.in/eqJ9NunY #VTQResearchForum #AOs #EPAOs #InnovationInAssessment

Thankyou to those that attended and participated in last Friday's ICT Industry/RTO forumThe Key Points that came from the forum were:1. The FSO is currently drafting the next iteration of the workforce plan, which should be published by the end of May, early June.2. The demand for ICT, Business Services and Finance skills is growing but supply is shrinking.3. Research to anticipate the impact of generative AI on the training and its adoption in the workforce will be undertaken.4. Qualifications reforms will have a big impact on the work of the JSCEconomic Outlook and IT Trends1. A “steady as she goes” view of the economy.2. the potential impact of proposed IR laws on wage rates and the increasing IT spend.3. The use of AI and automation in cybersecurity and in the workplace.4. The significat rise in international student commencements in higher education,There is more detail in the attached meeting notes and a copy of the ACFIPS presentation.#informationtechnology #ICT #digitalskills #dataanalytics #computerprogramming #Vocationaleducation #vocatioanltraining #VETreform #IT #coding #VETleaders
