>PDQB/SQA Exams
October 2010 saw Piping Programme Artistic Director, Robert Aitken, officially be granted PDQB/SQA assessor status. A first for the North East it is hoped that having an approved Piping examiner locally will be of benefit to all involved in Piping in the region. The award has been granted in affiliation with the College of Piping, Glasgow.
