Where will this course lead?

This qualification is intended for those who maintain and improve the quality of assessment from within an organisation or assessment centre. The objective of the qualification is to support other roles in the workplace to ensure quality is monitored and continually improved.

What will I study?

The qualification consists of two units;-

The first, “Understanding the principles and practices of internally assuring the quality of assessment”, is a knowledge-based unit and covers all aspects of monitoring and improving the quality of assessment within an organisation.

The second unit, “Internally assure the quality of assessment”, gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills through carrying out monitoring activities by way of supporting and developing others in their roles, and developing and improving processes within an organisation.

How will this course be delivered and what is the duration?

When you enrol, you will be contacted by your assessor to arrange an optional initial online Teams meeting to introduce you to the course and its structure. During this meeting you will have the opportunity to ask any questions about the course.

We also include further optional monthly meetings with your assessor that you can book at a mutually convenient time as and when you need them.

You will have a full year to complete the course, so you can work at your own pace. Depending on your role, you may be able to complete the qualification in just a few months! The content is delivered via videos in a structured manner with all questions and interactive learning activities included. These lessons cover all content of the knowledge-based unit, and the requirements performance-based unit.
