Summary

The City and Guilds TAQA (Training, Assessing and Quality Assurance) qualification scheme offers qualifications to train assessors and those carrying out quality assurance of those assessments (internal and external verifiers). They replace the City and Guilds V1/V2 awards.

Each of these qualification routes include the knowledge and understanding unit: Level 4 Award in Understanding the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice.
