Learners’ assessments will be marked internally by the approved centre and will be subject to external moderation by QUALIFI prior to certification.

External Quality Assurance Arrangements All centres are required to complete an approval process to be recognised as an approved centre. Centres must have the ability to support learners. Centres must commit to working with QUALIFI and its team of External Quality Assurers (EQAs). Approved centres are required to have in place qualified and experienced tutors.

All tutors are required to undertake regular continued professional development (CPD). Approved centres will be monitored by QUALIFI External Quality Assurers (EQAs) to ensure compliance with QUALIFI requirements and to ensure that learners are provided with appropriate learning opportunities, guidance and formative assessment. QUALIFI’s guidance relating to invigilation, preventing plagiarism and collusion will apply to centres. Unless otherwise agreed, QUALIFI:

  • sets all assessments.
  • moderate’s assessments prior to certification.
  • awards the final mark and issues certificates.
Formative assessment is an integral part of the assessment process, involving both the tutor/assessor and the learner about their progress during the course of study. Formative assessment takes place prior to summative assessment and focuses on helping the learner to reflect on their learning and improve their performance and does not confirm achievement of grades at this stage.

Summative assessment is used to evaluate learner competence and progression at the end of a unit or component. Summative assessment should take place when the assessor deems that the learner is at a stage where competence can be demonstrated. Learners should be made aware that summative assessment outcomes are subject to confirmation by the Internal Verifier and External Quality Assurer (EQA) and thus is provisional and can be overridden. Assessors should annotate on the learner work where the evidence supports their decisions against the assessment criteria. Learners will need to be familiar with the assessment and grading criteria so that they can understand the quality of what is required.
