Summary
The City and Guilds Training, Assessing and Quality Assurance qualification scheme offers qualifications to train assessors and those carrying out quality assurance of those assessments (internal and external verifiers). They replace the City and Guilds V1/V2 awards.
Each of these qualification routes include the knowledge and understanding unit: Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice. This unit can be done as a standalone award if you simply want to get an overview of the verifying process without actually doing it.

Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice is for practitioners who conduct internal quality assurance of the assessment process from within a centre by sample planning, monitoring and advising on the practice of assessors.
