Formerly known as the Internal Verifier Award (D34) or the V1, this qualification is for people who verify the work of other assessors and want to become an internal quality assurer. Assessment activities may include sampling, observations, and standardised meetings, and the theory part of the course can be studied online. Upon completion of the course, you will be fully qualified to monitor the decisions of assessors and thus improve standards within an organisation.
If you’re looking to make the jump from assessment to quality assurance, this is the qualification for you.
