The rationale of the Certificate is to provide recognition for those who wish to develop their own abilities in the maintaining and improving the quality of assessment in a regulated environment. It is envisaged that all Qualifi centres will enable learners to further their knowledge of quality assurance to provide consistent, standardised assessment reports and appropriate feedback to learners.
The qualification will enable learners to become independent, self-directed learners with the tools and motivation necessary to continue learning, developing and reflecting on practice throughout their careers.
This qualification is designed for learners aged 19 and above. There are no specific recommended prior learning requirements for these qualifications.
However, learners may find it helpful if they have already achieved a Level 3 qualification. Centres are responsible for ensuring that this qualification is appropriate for the age and ability of learners.
In certain circumstances, individuals with considerable experience but no formal qualifications may be considered, subject to interview and being able to demonstrate their ability to cope with the demands of the programme.
