Quality Assurance

The TQA will verify that the provider's course delivery and assessment standards meet the course requirements and community expectations for fairness, integrity and validity of qualifications the Authority issues. This will involve checking:

student attendance records; and
course delivery plans (the sequence of course delivery/tasks and when assessments take place):

assessment instruments and rubrics (the 'rules' or marking guide used to judge achievement)
class records of assessment
examples of student work that demonstrate the use of the marking guide
samples of current student's work, including examination of student activity log books.

This process will usually also include interviews with past and present students. It will be scheduled by the TQA using a risk-based approach.
