Vital new arrangements for quality assurance of apprenticeship assessment provided by universities have been unveiled and site visits will start in July.
The Designated Quality Body in England (DQB) and the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) have agreed on the working arrangements for the external quality assurance (EQA) of degree apprenticeships in England.
EQA monitors the end-point assessment that apprentices must take at the end of their apprenticeship to prove they can do the job they have trained for. It ensures the assessment is fair, consistent and robust across different apprenticeship standards and between different assessment organisations.
