RPS Scotland Advisory Days

 Back to RPS Scotland Events 

A new Distinctions Framework for A and F level Distinctions should be in place for assessments commencing in 2027. The RPS are planning to hold two sets of assessments under the existing framework during 2026, accordingly RPS Scotland is planning to hold an Advisory Day during the first half of 2026 for members who may be working on a panel and who are considering submitting it for assessment in the second half of the year.
