Course Summary

This qualification is designed for individuals who are responsible for ensuring the quality of assessment within an organisation. It provides learners with the knowledge and skills required to monitor, support, and advise assessors while maintaining the integrity and consistency of assessment practices. The course focuses on the principles and practices of internal quality assurance and equips you with the tools to confidently carry out internal verification activities.

Course Requirements

Entry Requirements

You must hold a recognised assessor qualification (such as the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement or equivalent) and be actively involved in the assessment process within your organisation. You will also need access to at least two assessors whose work you can internally quality assure as part of your practical assessment.

How Is It Assessed

Assessment is through a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates your competence in planning, carrying out, and recording internal quality assurance activities. This will include observations of your practice, written assignments, professional discussions, and the submission of supporting documentation. All assessments are based on real work scenarios.

How Is It Taught

The course is delivered through a blended learning model, combining face-to-face workshops with online learning and tutorials. This flexible approach allows you to study at your own pace while benefiting from tutor support and collaborative learning with peers. You’ll access a range of digital resources and complete activities designed to build your practical understanding of IQA practices.

What Could I do Next

Successful completion of this award can lead to: The Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice. Advanced roles such as Lead IQA or Quality Manager. Progression into teaching, training, or educational management roles.

What Else Do I Need To Know

You will need to be working in a setting where internal quality assurance is carried out. Access to at least two assessors is essential to meet the practical requirements of the qualification. You will be supported by a qualified tutor throughout the programme who will guide you in building your portfolio. The qualification is accredited and nationally recognised.
