About the course

The Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice is for people who quality-assure the work of assessors inside a centre. Internal quality assurers sample assessment decisions, observe assessors, support and develop them, and make sure assessment is fair and consistent.

It's usually taken by experienced assessors stepping up to an IQA role. Internal quality assurers sample assessment before certificates are claimed, so they're a key part of how NVQs and other vocational qualifications work.

You're assessed on real quality assurance work you carry out: planning sampling, reviewing assessment decisions, observing assessors and giving them feedback, and keeping records.

Who it's for

Qualified, experienced assessors who are moving into, or already working in, an internal quality assurance role.

What you'll learn

  • Principles and practice of internal quality assurance
  • Planning and carrying out sampling
  • Observing and supporting assessors
  • Standardising assessment decisions
  • Keeping quality assurance records

Do I need to be a qualified assessor first?

IQAs are normally experienced, qualified assessors, and you'll need assessors and their assessment decisions to quality-assure while you complete it.

What does an internal quality assurer do?

They sample assessors' decisions, observe assessments, support and standardise assessors, and make sure every candidate is assessed fairly and to the same standard.
