The information below acts as guidance on how an IQA strategy can be implemented, however centres are able to implement their own strategies where available. Minimum Centre Workforce Requirements An IQA Officer is responsible for the quality assurance of the delivery and assessment of the qualification. They are required to: 1. be occupationally competent in the area of first aid 2. have working knowledge of the requirements of the qualification they are quality assuring at the time any assessment is taking place 3. have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the role of tutors/assessors and internal quality assurance 4. visit and observe assessments supporting tutors and assessors in their delivery and assessment 5. ensure the delivery and assessment meets qualification requirements 6. ensure all assessment paperwork is completed accurately 7. ensure all tutors/assessors IQA d 8. support/develop tutors/assessors 9. provide an audit trail of IQA In addition to the above, IQA s could look to complete a recognised qualification in internal quality assurance which would look to support their knowledge and understanding of the role. The IQA Officer should not: 1. be involved in the delivery of the course they are quality assuring 2. be involved in the assessment of the course they are quality assuring 10 First Aid: The Essential Guide

How to implement an IQA process? Step 1 Tutor/Assessor Grading: 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. RED: Tutors/Assessors who have little or no experience in the delivery and/or assessment of the qualification. AMBER: GREEN: Tutors/Assessors who have a moderate amount of experience and competence in the delivery and/or assessment of the qualification. Tutors/Assessors who have a significant amount of experience and competence in the delivery and/or assessment of the qualification. Step 2 Sample Strategies: 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: Grade RED Sample Volume (figures provided are used as an example) Tutors/Assessors would require the following IQA support: 1 observation visit for every course registered, and 1 desk-based review for every course registered AMBER GREEN Tutors/Assessors would require the following IQA support: 1 observation visit for every 10 courses registered, and 1 desk-based review for every 10 courses registered Tutors/Assessors would require the following IQA support: 1 observation visit for every 20 courses registered, and 1 desk-based review for every 20 courses registered 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. First Aid: The Essential Guide 11

Step 3 Sample Plan: Once you have created your sample strategy, you will then be required to put together a sample plan for your IQA. This should provide the following: an audit trail of all courses delivered a sample plan for IQA an outcome for each sample Step 4 Sampling Report: You should complete an IQA Sample Report for each of your checks e.g. observation, desk based etc. This sample report can look at any of the following: the delivery of the qualification the assessment of the qualification the completion of the assessment paperwork Step 5 Keep an Audit Trail of IQA: In order to help you keep an audit trail of your IQA, we d suggest keeping a folder of all your paperwork, which can be made available for external quality assurance. These three folders should include the following: Folder 1 - all completed EFAW Assessment Packs Folder 2 - all completed FAW Assessment Packs Folder 3 - all IQA Packs (including plans and reports) External Quality Assurance (EQA) HABC is required by Ofqual, the HSE and SfH to quality assure our approved centres.
