EVC Revalidation

National Guidance 3.1a recommends that EVCs renew their training every three years. This is important to ensure you are up-to-date with changes in national guidance and good practice for educational visits management.

The live, facilitated revalidation training is delivered in a small group, online via Zoom. (3 hours)

Due to IQA and EQA requirements, you must have a working camera and microphone. 

This course is aimed at existing EVCs in all schools and educational settings (maintained, Independent Schools, Foundation Schools, Academies and alternative provision) in England and Wales who have completed Initial EVC Training or EVC Revalidation Training in the past 3 years. The employer must agree that this training is suitable.
