Unit 401 – Understanding the Principles and Practice of Internally Assuring the Quality of Assessment
1.1 Explain the functions of internal quality assurance in learning and development.
At Business the functions of internal quality assurance cover a diverse spectrum. However, from the start I must ensure that the candidates are at a level and position to carry out the assignments to meet the criteria involved. I ensure that the employer is involved from the outset and is fully aware of the work and support the candidate will need and be expected to submit. This is done through discussions with the employer and learners and by the completion of a pre-enrolment form. This information is required to ensure consistency with the qualification which, in my case is the NVQ L2 in Team Leading and also the NVQ L3/5 in Management. I ensure that I provide the employer and candidate with the information about all the procedures in place by the College to ensure a quality end product and also meet the learner’s requirements should they have any specific learning needs. The learner also goes through and induction workshop and all areas of the NVQ are explained especially the procedures. The employer also signs the individual learning plan incorporated within the NVQ stating that they support the learner and agree with there role as an employer.
The procedures that we have in place are ‘Equality and Diversity’ this ensures that all learners can participate and have the opportunity to reach their potential and that we understand the social identity which includes gender, race, disability, age, social class, sexuality and religion ensuring that we are aware that all learners are different and that we treat all learners as individuals.
We also need to be fully aware and compliant of the ‘Data Protection Policy’ this is very important to the learner and employer as they are often concerned about any information that may be valuable to other competitive business. We ensure
