Challenge Award
International
An increasing number of schools have purchased the NACE Challenge Award Framework as a self evaluation and improvement tool. As a result, NACE is working with schools in France, Romania, Russia, Singapore, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and New Zealand.
All schools that have also subscribed to NACE membership receive regular updates, information on NACE conferences and discount on NACE Professional Development and conference places.
In addition, because NACE is aware that overseas colleagues may not have ready access to UK based professional development, electronic support services are available.
On site training and support
Individual schools, or groups of schools, working with the NACE Challenge Award framework can access on-site training and support by contacting the NACE offices at naceevents@nace.co.uk
