  • First Aid: The Essential Guide 11

    How to implement an IQA process?

    Step 1 Tutor/Assessor Grading:

    Step 2 Sample Strategies:

    First of all agree an initial grade for tutors/assessors to begin to identify how much support they will require form the IQA Officer. This initial grading is not permanent and can change based on tutor/assessor developments. A suggested grading method is shown below which uses a traffic light system.

    Once you graded you are then able to identify the volume or the amount of internal quality assurance support needed as identified in the sample strategy below:

    PLEASE NOTE: For Tutors/Assessors that do not achieve the above guided amounts, a minimum of one annual observation visit is recommended. In addition to the above, HABC would recommend a pre-certification check that would contribute to your internal quality assurance.

    RED: Tutors/Assessors who have little or no experience in the delivery and/or assessment of the qualification.

    GREEN: Tutors/Assessors who have a significant amount of experience and competence in the delivery and/or assessment of the qualification.
