The IQA Board is a sub-board of the FEN Board. Internal quality assurance has critical importance in providing quality assurance for the assessments and accreditation of the qualifications undertaken. Its functions directly influence the performance of delivery and assessment teams, learner’s progress, learners and employers views on training, centres policy and the reputation of the qualification (Greer I. 2019. 7th ed.
