Course Description
This
qualification is intended for those who lead a team of internal quality
assurance staff. The Level 4 Certificate (previously V1 award) in the Internal
Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice (IQA) is a 17 credit and
115 guided learning hour qualification consisting of 3 mandatory units.
This
qualification replaces the V1 and V2 qualifications. It is part of the new
suite of qualifications for assessors, internal quality assurers (IQA) and
external quality assurers (EQA). Learners must complete 3 mandatory units worth
17 credits in total to achieve the NCFE Level 4 Award in Internal Quality
Assurance
This qualification is required for:
·
Verifiers
involved in National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) for the next three years.
Those who deliver these qualifications will need to be qualified to meet the
requirements of the NVQ Code of Practice and Sector Skills Councils assessment
strategies.
·
Quality
assurance staff who deliver QCF qualifications that use the term ‘NVQ’ in their
title will also need these qualifications.
·
Some
staff, who are quality assuring qualifications within the QCF framework that do
not use the term ‘NVQ’ in their titles, but whose purpose is to confirm
occupational competence, will need to hold this IQA qualification.
·
This
qualification will be helpful for teachers in schools who deliver vocational
qualifications with applied learning, such as BTEC Firsts and Nationals. If you
already hold the D34 or VI qualification, you will not need to requalify but
must be aware of and practice to the new standards.
