The IQ Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice (QCF) is a qualification aimed at individuals who work or intend to work in a position of responsibility leading a team of internal quality assurers and for those in management who would like to understand the processes of quality assurance. Learners who have already achieved the Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice (QCF) can use credit already achieved towards this qualification as there is an overlap of units.
This qualification covers the principles and practices of internally assuring the quality of assessment and the ability to delegate and monitor work in own area of responsibility. It provides recognition for the learner’s knowledge and practical ability and is relevant to a variety of sectors. Learners can progress to the external verifier qualifications, management courses and additional quality assurance qualifications.
To achieve this qualification, learners must complete all three units totalling 17 credits.
Assessment for this qualification is by portfolio. It must be in accordance with the Lifelong Learning UK Assessment Strategy (see Appendix A of this document).
There is no requirement for each unit to be assessed separately. Assessors are advised to adopt a holistic approach and, where possible, to use one activity as evidence for learning outcomes and assessment criteria for both units. For example, a discussion for ‘Internally assure the quality of assessment’ might provide some evidence for ‘Understanding the principles and practices of internally assuring the quality of assessment’. In the same way, some evidence from ‘Internally assure the quality of assessment’ could be used for ‘Plan, allocate and monitor work in own area of responsibility’. However, it is essential that evidence for the assessment criteria in each unit is also identified individually.
A Qualification Achievement Record for this qualification which includes the forms necessary to map and claim competence is available to download from the IQ website.
Assessor and Internal Quality Assurance requirements are listed in the Lifelong Learning UK Assessment Strategy (Appendix A of this document).
