Quality Assurance Manual
iPowerboat Ltd is responsible for operating an effective and documented internal quality assurance
system which is a requirement of being an SQA- approved centre.
In order to ensure effective assessment and internal verification iPowerboat Ltd will regularly review
the effectiveness of their procedures and make any necessary improvements whilst ensuring that
any changes by the SQA are adopted.
The internal verification procedure includes 3 stages – pre-assessment, during assessment and post
assessment.
Stage 1 - Pre-assessment
The strategy of iPowerboat Ltd follows one where a named member of staff carries out the internal
verification for all units in the award. This allows the IV a view of all assessment activities relating to
the award they are responsible for quality assuring. This role is carried out by Ryan Tozer.
There will also be peer observation for the units with a practical element to it to ensure internal
verification relating to the assessor.
The pre-delivery tasks break down into the following roles:
Role of the Assessor
Understand roles and assessor and internal verifier – Section 1.4
Be familiar with Unit/Awards standards and conditions.
Propose assessment approach.
All assessment exemplars and materials will be agreed prior to course beginning in
collaboration with the independent experts.
Prepare candidates for assessment.
Role of the Internal Verifier
Ensure assessor and internal verifier roles and responsibilities are clear – Section 1.4.
Define approach to internal verification including sampling.
Collaborate with assessor(s) and other internal verifiers to ensure shared understanding of
Unit/Awards standards and conditions.
Collaborate to ensure that assessment approach is valid, reliable, practicable, equitable and
fair.
Internally verify centre-devised assessment before submitting to the SQA for prior
verification, if applicable.
Confirm that agreed assessment guidance for specific Units/Awards is implemented for
candidates including those requiring special assessment arrangements.
Internal Verification Procedure
Stage 1 (Pre assessment)
The IV will use the SQA IV1 form to assess.
Evidence will include annotation of assessment papers to confirm that they have been
through the internal quality assurance process.
Prior recorded meetings will be scheduled to ensure the IV and Assessor have mitigated any
differences in interpretation.
