Managing Quality Assurance of Vocational Education Qualifications through Awarding Bodies in the UK

Managing Quality Assurance of Vocational Education Qualifications through Awarding Bodies in the UK explores how three-pronged and yet distinct centre-based and awarding body-based quality assurance processes are guaranteed by Ofqual to assure the public of the parity of esteem with other UK qualifications. With comparative depth and scholarly rigour, the book unveils how ‘how Awarding Bodies are regulated by Ofqual’ and how their ‘Approved Centres’, though differ in their role in the process and align across roles in the regulated quality assurance process. A timely work for scholars, assessors, learners, the users and policymakers.
