Quality Assurance
External Quality Assurance qualifications available for people working within quality assurance with an Awarding Organisation or Accreditation Body.
Qualify as an External Quality Assurer (EQA).
The current suite of qualifications for External Quality Assurers (EQA) replaced the V2 qualification that was previously offered by Awarding Organisations, aiming to provide a clear understanding of the principles and practices of quality assurance within the QCF / RQF.
This is ideal for people who are working as quality assurers and those looking to move into a role as an external quality assurer.
People undertaking these qualifications may be working with regulated qualifications, accredited learning or non-accredited learning programmes.
Information about each qualification is available, along with a downloadable factsheet.
