Quality assurance isn’t paperwork.

It’s protection.

Strong IQAs = strong standards, confident assessors, credible qualifications.

Ofsted inspections are unforgiving.

EPA results are transparent.

Employers expect excellence.

If your assessor and IQA CPD haven’t kept pace with standards, now is the time to act.

Assessors aren’t evidence checkers anymore.

IQAs aren’t paperwork samplers.

Under apprenticeship standards, they’re professional decision-makers, and inspection will test that.

If your assessors are still working as if apprenticeship frameworks exist, the risk isn’t theoretical; it’s real.

Standards demand holistic judgement, occupational competence, and EPA readiness.
