Internal Quality Assurance
There are three different Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Qualifications available.
Have a look at each of them and decide which one is the right one for you.
Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice
This is the most highly regarded of all the IQA qualifications. It is often referred to as the Lead IQA qualification. It equips you with all the skills necessary to not only quality assure qualifications but also lead and manage the whole quality assurance process.
Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice
This qualification is the closest to the old Internal Verifier qualification.
It gives you with all the skills and knowledge necessary to provide quality assurance of assessments and assessment decisions. However, it does not allow you to be the centre lead or quality nominee. For these job roles, you will need the Level 4 Certificate.
Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice
This is the most basic IQA course. This course does not qualify you to internally quality assure assessment. However, it does provide you with the theory behind internally quality assurance making it an ideal CPD course for managers.
