This qualification is for those who are working or looking to gain entry in the role of Internal Quality Assurance for organisations. Applicants are able to undertake a mix of units, dependent upon their circumstances in both accredited learning and non-accredited learning, not just NVQs.

• Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes & Practice
• Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice

Participants will need to discuss their current circumstances in order to get the correct mix of units for them, starting with the knowledge award only. This initial meeting will be part of a pre-assessment workshop where the training course will be individually tailored to that participant as designed by your personal mentor.
An important feature of achieving this award, is your knowledge of the standards relating to your occupational area. You are strongly advised to familiarise yourself with the standards you intend to use with your assessors and candidates. You will need to set aside time to work on your own portfolio.

units or qualifications must meet the specific requirements of the assessment strategy related to those units and qualifications.
