Quality Assuring Assessment

Since 1st July 2008 FETAC's Quality Assuring Assessment Process has been in operation. Under this process, FETAC registered Providers are required to put in place, and appropriately document, procedures for the following:

- a fair and consistent assessment process

- an authentication process including Internal Verification and External Authentication

- a results approval process

- an appeals process

- a process for requesting certification from FETAC 

The following resources may be useful to a Provider putting a quality assuring assessment process in place:
