Welcome

To the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors

Our aim is to improve the quality of assessment in schools, colleges and the workplace by working with teachers, examiners and the education community to develop their knowledge, understanding and capability in all aspects of educational testing and assessment.

As an independent charitable organisation we provide recognition of the crucial work carried out by individuals in the field of assessment, as well as status and professional standards for individuals and an independent 'voice' for the assessment community.

 


CIEA National Assessment conference update

As an organisation that works to support its members during times of change, we believe it necessary to defer the date of our National Assessment conference until the new educational assessment policy landscape has been clarified.

Therefore, the conference and the full programme will now be held in London, at Mary Ward House on the 22nd and 23rd October 2010.
