Who will my validator be?
Your validator will be either Susan Ward or Mark Davidson from the Digital Inclusion and Learning Team.
Do I have to complete the Intel courses?

I don’t have anyone to be my Peer Reviewer, what do I do?
Contact digital.learning@midlothian.education and we’ll partner you with someone who will act as your Peer Reviewer.
Is this just for teachers?
Nope! It's for anyone who works in education and is keen to have their digital skills recognised nationally. We encourage all education staff to consider applying.
