Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice.

Are you responsible for maintaining the quality of assessment within your organisation or centre? The Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) is designed for professionals who ensure the consistency and reliability of vocational training and assessment – whether in the workplace, in colleges, or through independent training providers.

Who Is This Qualification For?

This nationally recognised qualification is ideal for Internal Quality Assurers (IQAs) who support and monitor assessors delivering regulated qualifications such as NVQs, apprenticeships, and other competence-based programmes.

Whether you work in a further education setting, a private training centre, or within industry, this award provides the skills and knowledge required to carry out effective internal quality assurance.

What the Qualification Covers?

This programme is structured around two key units:

• Understanding the Principles and Practices of Internally Assuring the Quality of Assessment
• Internally Assure the Quality of Assessment

You will gain the knowledge and practical skills to:

• Understand the role of IQA in the training and assessment cycle
• Apply the principles of quality assurance in your own context
• Develop and implement robust internal quality systems and processes
• Use auditing techniques to monitor and support assessor performance
• Plan, conduct and review internal quality assurance activities
• Manage the IQA process effectively across a range of qualifications

Programme Structure

The course begins with a one-day interactive workshop that introduces the key topics and lays the foundation for your learning. After the workshop, learners are given time to develop their skills in their own setting, supported by one-to-one guidance from a dedicated tutor.

Each learner receives a personalised assessment plan, clearly setting out the evidence required to meet the qualification standards.

To achieve the award, you’ll need to submit:

• Short written assignments that demonstrate your understanding of the key principles and criteria
• Workplace evidence showing how you have planned and conducted internal quality assurance activities
• Observation evidence from a live assessment or IQA activity

Online Evidence Collection with SwiftTrack

All learners are given access to our SwiftTrack system – an intuitive online platform used to collect, track, and store evidence of competence. Once your portfolio is complete, it will be reviewed by one of our qualified assessors, who will evaluate whether it meets the national standards.

IQA for the finished portfolio is provided via Enable Assessment with certification provided by Awarding Organisation ICQ.
