Assessment and Verification

Assessment Framework :

The qualification is assessed through a structured Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ)–based examination, designed to measure both theoretical understanding and practical application of knowledge. Key features of the assessment framework include:

• Evidence-Based Assessment:
  MCQs are developed using industry-aligned standards to ensure the assessment reflects real-world competencies and current professional practices.
• Structured Examination Format:
  The exam consists of scenario-based and knowledge-based MCQs, requiring learners to demonstrate critical thinking and subject mastery.
• Performance Threshold:
  Learners must obtain a minimum score of 70% to successfully complete the qualification. This benchmark ensures that every certified learner meets QualCert’s required level of competence.
• Assessment Integrity:
  All assessments are conducted under controlled, secure conditions at approved training centres to maintain fairness, consistency, and integrity.

Quality Assurance & Verification :

QualCert applies a comprehensive, multi-layered quality assurance system to uphold international standards and ensure the reliability of all assessment outcomes.

1. Internal Quality Assurance (IQA)

Conducted by the approved training centre:

• Assessment Review:
  Centre-approved Assessors and Internal Quality Assurers (IQAs) review learner evidence, scoring accuracy, and compliance with assessment criteria.
• Standardisation Activities:
  Regular standardisation meetings are conducted within centres to ensure consistent marking practices across all assessors.
• Continuous Improvement:
  IQAs provide feedback to Assessors to enhance assessment delivery, marking reliability, and learner support.

2. External Quality Assurance (EQA)

Conducted by QualCert:

• Independent Verification:
  QualCert External Quality Assurers review a sample of learner assessments to confirm accuracy, consistency, and compliance with QualCert and regulatory standards.
• Centre Compliance Audits:
  EQAs examine centre procedures, assessor qualifications, assessment environments, and record-keeping to ensure full adherence to quality assurance policies.
• Quality and Standards Validation:
  EQAs verify that assessment decisions are fair, valid, reliable, and aligned with national and international benchmarks.
• Final Approval:
  Once the EQA is satisfied that all quality standards have been met, the centre’s results are approved, and QualCert officially releases the certification to the learner.

QualCert delivers all qualifications exclusively through its global network of officially approved training centres.
