Quality Assurance
Our approach to Quality Assurance starts before a centre runs any of our qualifications. We need to be sure that there are in place robust quality assurance systems. We undertake a risk assessment to ensure that Internal Quality Assurance supports the safe and secure award of credit. We employ a team of External Quality Assurance staff, our Quality Reviewers, to work with centres on quality improvement. Where a centre can show it meets our standards for quality assurance then we can give you Direct Claims Status, allowing you to sign off the award of credit and moving the external quality assurance to a lighter touch.
We support centres and offer training in the assessment of learners and verification of awards. If you are new to credit based awards or wish to update your understanding of assessment and evidencing then please click here to see our training offer. We have a number of documents to support assessment and evidencing as well as guidance on implementing systems and tracking learning.
As a regulated Awarding Organisation we meet the criteria for access to fair assessment so that learners with a range of needs and abilities can undertake our qualifications and achieve them. To read our policy and guidance please click here.
