Do you manage or conduct the internal quality assurance (IQA) of your apprenticeship provision? If so, it’s vitally important to be focusing on the right things. So, for example: Are your IQA activities solely focused on awarding body requirements? Are you able to monitor the apprentice’s learning and progress effectively (particularly where there are no qualifications)? Is your role helping your teachers and trainers to prepare apprentices adequately for the gateway and end-point assessment?

You’ll leave this webinar with an understanding of:

Part 2: Undertaking effective observations of practice. Building your skills based on research

When used well, observations of practice can be a powerful tool to improve quality. Observations used badly do not improve practice and can be perceived as a threat.
So how can you ensure that your observations of practice enhance CPD for your colleagues and benefit your apprentices? In this in-depth session we will take a research-based approach to effective observations of practice.

Part 3: Participating in deep dive activities including how to undertake a joint scrutiny of assessed work and progress reviews

A deep dive review or enquiry is standard practice within the quality assurance toolbox. It even has its own dictionary definition ‘to conduct a thorough investigation and analysis of something”.
Conducting a deep dive is a technique that we can use to fully understand a situation, generate ideas, and solve problems. They are also a great way engage colleagues in quality assurance and improvement.
