Course Description
The Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practices (RQF), also referred to as the Level 4 IQA, stands as a crucial certification for those aiming to pursue roles as Internal Quality Assurers (IQAs) within the FE and HE sectors. This qualification serves as a successor to the previous V1 course, previously mandated by educational institutions employing IQAs.
Individuals who attain the Level 4 TAQA qualification are equipped to supervise the activities of assessors within their organization. Accredited by UK OFQUAL and delivered entirely online, this Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance ensures flexible support, advances expertise in quality assurance across diverse subject areas, and validates competency in IQA duties.
Unit 1: Understanding the Principles and Practices of Internally Assuring the Quality of Assessment
Unit 2: Internally Assure the Quality of Assessment
The written task and evidence for practical demonstration of Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) skills involve the trainee IQA assessing the work of two assessors, each working with their own group of learners. The evidence must accurately reflect the trainee IQA’s performance, meeting all assessment criteria with validity, authenticity, and sufficiency.
The course provides modules that learners can complete at their own pace. The duration for completion ranges from 2 weeks to 4 months, depending on the individual’s speed. Nevertheless, access to the course expires after one year, and there is a re-enrollment fee.
