We have a NEW look, a NEW assessment model and a NEW editable assessment tool. We are proud of our new branding and hope it has impressed. We have a new website and newsletter format, as well as a YouTube channel, Twitter account and LinkedIn company page. We will be using social media to announce our latest product releases, as well as post industry and company news, so please connect with us to keep informed. The past month has flown by with the introduction of our improved assessment model. We hit the road, running roadshows in each mainland capital city and have been conducting weekly webinars to spread the word on all things new with smallprint. For those of you who have yet to hear about our NEW assessment model, it includes:

• new observation checklists and supplementary evidence gathering tools
• clear instructions for all users
• a new pre-assessment tool
• larger font and more white space

Our NEW editable assessment tool allows you to edit assessments, which will be kept in your personal library and can be printed on order. For further information please sign up to our webinar on 30 July at 11am AEST.
