How is quality assurance guaranteed for the certification of the INGOTs?
All accredited assessors will be trained by an Assessor Trainer. A senior member of each INGOT Center or Academy will act as Principal Assessor, undertaking responsibility for standards within the Center, and acting as the single point of contact for the Awarding Body’s Regional Moderator through a named Account Manager. Moderation and quality assurance will take place by both systematic and random samples of the assessed work. Some of this moderation will take place internally under the direction of the Principal Assessor and some by an independent external moderator, usually the Center’s Moderator/verifier, appointed by The Learning Machine Ltd. The Center must agree to participate in random sampling as determined by the Awarding Body. Certificates will only be authorized for printing when an agent of the Awarding Body, independent of the center judges that the criteria have been met. At a local level, the candidates and assessors must agree that the assessment criteria are matched b
