A suite of reference documents for quality assuring assessment of learners has been developed by an ETB sectoral assessment working group in collaboration with the Further Education Support Service (FESS), and following a detailed consultative process. These reference documents have been developed to assist ETBs in developing and documenting policies and procedures for quality assuring learner assessment, in line with best practice. Copies of the reference documents have now been distributed to all ETBs in hard copy and are also available through a secure login repository on www.etbi.ie
Quality Assurance

The Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Act 2012 obliges Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) to issue guidelines for providers to inform their development of quality assurance procedures. In QQI's Policy on Quality Assurance Guidelines, April 2016, nine QA principles that should underpin the development of QA policies and procedures by providers are explained.
Registered QQI providers currently have QA policies and procedures in place to which all FET staff managing, co-ordinating and/or delivering progammes leading to QQI certification must adhere. To support providers in developing appropriate QA policies and procedures, and updating existing QA systems, QQI has developed and published guidelines for providers which may be accessed here.
FESS continues to support DES funded providers in quality assurance related issues and developments.
