The Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice was introduced when the old V1 internal verifier course was withdrawn in 2010. The course is intended for those who wish to gain an understanding of the principles and practices of internal quality assurance without any requirement to practice. It is ideal for candidates or managers who just what to understand the work of an internal verifier. There are currently three different internal quality assurance courses which are aimed at different settings. Please refer to our guide by clicking here. The course has a 45 hours guided learning requirement. You are usually expected to complete this course within 3 to 6 weeks depending on the mode of your enrolment.
The Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice is made up of the following unit:
| Unit | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Understanding the principles and practices of internally assuring the quality of assessment | 6 |
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. 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 3 to 6 weeks.
The Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice is open to anyone. You will be expected to have basic numeracy, literacy and IT skills in line with national occupational skills for internal Quality Assurers. 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.
