2 reviews for Focus Awards Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practices (RQF)

  1. Rizwan (verified owner)

    I recently completed an IQA (Internal Quality Assurance) course, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The course content was comprehensive, covering all aspects of quality assurance in great detail. The IQA support person “Hazel” was very helpful, knowledgeable, and experienced, providing valuable insights and practical examples. The course structure was well-organized, allowing for a smooth learning experience. The course materials provided were extensive and served as excellent references even after completing the course. I recommend that the organization needs to have sample videos on each task and it will help the learners to have a better understanding of the questions. Overall, the IQA course was a truly enriching and worthwhile experience that has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to excel in the field of quality assurance.

  2. Rizwan (verified owner)

    A very good piece of the job by the organization.
