This is a one-year, part-time course which offers an award qualification for internal quality assurers (IQA). This course focuses on the assuring of teaching and training in a variety of settings, including colleges and independent training organisations, whereby educational/training practitioners involved with the internal quality assurance of learners assessments, as part of their professional role, are expected to have achieved Level 4 Internal Quality Assurer status.
There are two pathways to choose from that are based on understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practices (6 credits):

- For practitioners who conduct internal quality assurance of the assessment process from within a centre or organisation, by sample planning, monitoring and advising on the practice of assessors.
This course is offered based on either one or a combination of the above units depending on the your requirements and is validated by the City and Guilds Awarding Body and is a nationally recognised qualification.
