The Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice (Lead Internal Verifier) qualification was introduced when the old V1 internal verifier course was replaced in 2010. This course will enable you to become a qualified NVQ Internal Verifier or Moderator. The qualification also acknowledges you are a qualified lead Verifier, leading a team, which can be other verifiers, assessors and other practitioners. The course enables you to moderate any courses you are occupationally competent. Coursetopia encourages candidates to submit naturally occurring evidence from their work environment to demonstrate competency against the practical requirements of the course. We welcome other evidence such as prior learning and do not just rely on assignments. Candidates who have already achieved the Level 4 Award in the internal quality assurance of assessment processes and practice, V1 or D34 can upgrade their qualification to be recognised as a Lead Internal Quality Assurer at a discount. There are currently three different internal quality assurance courses which are aimed at different settings. Please refer to our guide by clicking here. The Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice has a 115 hours guided learning requirement. You are usually expected to complete this course within 3 to 15 weeks depending on the mode of enrolment.
The Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and practice is made up of the following three units:
| Unit | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Understanding the principles and practices of internally assuring the quality of assessment | 6 |
| 2 | Internally assure the quality of assessment | 6 |
| 3 | Plan, allocate and monitor work in own area of responsibility | 5 |
The course is delivered by either blended learning or as classroom based. You are expected to meet all course requirements regardless of the method of delivery. There should be evidence of learning and meeting all the assessment criteria.
Fast track is also available to candidates who can work at a faster pace and have access to learning opportunities. You will also be expected to have the capacity to meet all course requirements within a shorter time scale and ideally have evidence of prior learning.
Classroom (Face-to-face Classes or Workshops)This is the ideal course delivery as it allows all practical requirements to be demonstrated and observed in real time. All course requirements will need to be completed within the classroom.
Blended LearningThis mode of learning is ideal for candidates who want to complete part of the course by distance learning. All practical requirements of the course will need to be demonstrated or carried out either during classroom attendance or observed in real time by video.
Online (Distance Learning)This mode of learning is ideal for candidates who want to complete the course entirely or mostly by distance learning. Evidence of practice will however need to be provided in the form of work products, expert witnesses, observations or any other appropriate and suitable method that demonstrates your competency.
All candidates will be allocated an assessor on enrolment and given access to coursework, resources and learning opportunities. Course events include forums, web conferences, and face-to-face sessions.
We are often asked how quick someone can complete this course? This depends on a number of factors which includes your own commitment, the quality of your evidence, time, learning and assessment opportunities and your ability to study at a high level.
Candidates joining the course with evidence of prior learning and credits from other qualifications will obviously be able to complete quicker than someone without. If you invest more time on the course such as 15 hours a week then you will most likely complete earlier compared to someone who commits less time. On the other hand if you find yourself needing more time than the curse duration you can negotiate for more time during your initial assessment planning. You can also apply for extensions.
Please bear in mind that you will be required to evidence learning and participate in course activities. This is a regulated qualification that will be quality assured and monitored by awarding bodies and Ofqual. We however expect you to complete the course within 1 to 8 weeks.
This course is open to anyone who has quality assurance duties within a learning and development environment. You will be expected to have access to at least two assessors and be a team leader. You will be expected to have basic numeracy, literacy and IT skills in line with national occupational skills for Learning and development practitioners.

You are also expected to be committed and serious about achieving the qualification. All candidates (learners) should have access to the internet and a word processor.
