Feedback

"Tutor practiced what they preached...delivering the course through various techniques and approaches to enable different types of learners to become more informed and educated on the course content, whilst keeping everyone engaged throughout."



"Things were explained in a manner easy to understand and we had the ability to ask questions and share thoughts with other attendees. I felt valued and encouraged to share thoughts and comments. The course enthused me to learn more and put into practice what I had learnt."

Learners must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Be appropriately identified
  • Be able to communicate effectively in English (this includes listening, speaking, reading and writing)
  • Hold an assessing qualification
  • Have access to assess to internal quality assurance opportunities

If you have any support requirements to enable you to attend and successfully complete the course, please advise us when you book your place on the course. We will then contact you ahead of the course start date to discuss how we can best support you.

Learners must have access to a laptop or tablet. A smartphone device is accepted but functionality can be limited. The device must have access to a microphone as the sessions will be interactive. Please also ensure you have good WIFI access.

After the virtual classroom sessions, learners are required to undertake the following assessment activities:

  • Complete a series of written tasks contained within a learner portfolio
  • Produce or review an Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) strategy and provide a rationale
  • Produce or review a sampling plan with a rationale
  • Plan and deliver IQA interventions

Learners must have access within their current role to internally quality assure assessments for qualifications, accredited programmes of study with assessments, or job-related assessments in the relevant environment in order to complete all elements of this qualification.

Due to the nature of the assessment, learners will need to be observed assessing in their own environment. Learners are encouraged to source their own qualified assessors. Sport Structures are able to provide an assessor for an additional fee.

Learners have three years from the start date of their course to be certificated. We recommend that learners aim to finish six months prior to their course end date to ensure plenty of time for their portfolio to be marked and any amendments to be made so that their certificate can be claimed.

In exceptional circumstances, an extension may be available. Please contact [email protected] as soon as possible if you would like to discuss this further.

Successful learners may progress to further education and training qualifications, such as the 1st4sport Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Process and Practice.
