Depending on the pathway required, the Level 4 qualifications for
Quality Assurance consist of three separate qualifications:
Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment
Processes and Practice - a knowledge-only award for those who need to know about
internal quality assurance (IQA) but who are not currently carrying out quality
assurance themselves. These may be experienced assessors or centre managers, for
example.
Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and
Practice – for practitioners who conduct internal quality assurance of the
assessment process from within a centre or organisation, by sample planning,
monitoring and advising on the practice of assessors.
Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment
Processes and Practice - for practitioners who lead the internal quality
assurance process and have a responsibility for managing the quality of the
assessment process and practices, and the performance of assessors. They may
also develop systems and lead on visits from outside agencies such as awarding
organisations.
