Take the next step in your education and assessment career with the internationally recognised VTCT Skills (ITEC) Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice.
Designed for experienced assessors, educators and training professionals progressing into Internal Quality Assurance, this qualification develops the knowledge and practical skills required to monitor assessment practice, support assessors and maintain consistent standards of assessment within a training organisation or accredited centre.
Internal Quality Assurers — traditionally known as Internal Verifiers — play a critical role within accredited education. They ensure that assessment decisions are fair, valid, consistent and compliant with awarding organisation requirements while supporting assessors to continually improve their practice.
This course is ideal for:
Qualified assessors progressing into Internal Quality Assurance
Tutors and educators with assessment responsibilities
Internal Verifiers / IQAs who require a recognised qualification
Training academy owners and managers
Programme coordinators
Quality assurance personnel
Those wishing to progress their career within accredited education and training
While particularly relevant to those working within the beauty, aesthetics, complementary therapy and vocational education sectors, the principles of the qualification relate to quality assurance of assessment across vocational training environments.
The qualification consists of two compulsory Level 4 units:
Unit 1 – Understanding the Principles and Practices of Internally Assuring the Quality of Assessment
Develop an in-depth understanding of the principles underpinning effective Internal Quality Assurance, including planning, sampling, standardisation, monitoring assessment practice, maintaining and improving assessment quality, information management and relevant legal and professional requirements.
Unit 2 – Internally Assure the Quality of Assessment
Apply IQA principles in a real assessment environment. Learners will plan and undertake Internal Quality Assurance activity, monitor assessment practice and decisions, provide feedback to assessors and demonstrate how quality and consistency are maintained within the assessment process.
The official ITEC qualification comprises these two compulsory units.
This programme is delivered using a blended learning approach, combining:
Live Tutor-Led Online Training Days
Interactive training covering both the theory and practical application of Internal Quality Assurance.
Guided Independent Study
Learners complete supporting study and portfolio work between and following the live training sessions.
Practical IQA Activity
As this is a competency-based qualification, learners must demonstrate Internal Quality Assurance activity within a real assessment environment.
Tutor & Portfolio Support
Learners receive guidance throughout the programme to support completion of their assessment evidence and IQA portfolio.
By the end of the programme you will understand how to:
Plan Internal Quality Assurance activity
Develop effective sampling strategies
Monitor assessment decisions
Evaluate assessor practice
Ensure assessment is valid, reliable, fair and consistent
Support and develop assessors
Conduct assessor observations
Provide constructive IQA feedback
Facilitate standardisation
Identify and manage risk within assessment
Maintain appropriate IQA records
Manage assessment and quality assurance information
Meet legal, regulatory and organisational requirements
Maintain and continually improve assessment quality
Prepare for External Quality Assurance
Assessment is completed through a combination of written work and practical evidence demonstrating Internal Quality Assurance practice.
Learners will develop a portfolio of evidence demonstrating their knowledge and practical competence against the ITEC assessment criteria.
Important: As the qualification assesses practical Internal Quality Assurance competence, learners must have access to an appropriate assessment environment and assessors/learners in order to generate the required evidence.
Exact assessor and learner access requirements will be confirmed with applicants prior to enrolment.
Applicants should have appropriate experience within education, training and assessment and must be in a position to undertake genuine Internal Quality Assurance activity.
Holding an assessor qualification such as the ITEC Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement or equivalent is strongly recommended.
Applicants who are unsure whether they meet the entry requirements are welcome to contact Beautorium Training Academy prior to booking.
