News & Updates

Safety Training Awards (STA) is incredibly pleased to announce the launch of a new online Internal Quality Assurance CPD.

The online programme is designed to support current STA Internal Quality Assurers, Centre Co-ordinators, Tutors, Assessors, and anyone who would like to act as an Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) in an STA Approved Training Centre.

The in-depth online programme covers what internal quality assurance is, the role of an IQA, different types of quality assurance activities and how these are conducted. There is also a practical tips section including, what to look for during an observation, how to complete the paperwork as well as what to do should something arises during quality assurance activities to educate and prepare IQAs in their role.

To further support IQAs and STA Approved Training Centres, STA have updated the Internal Quality Assurance Guidance for IQAs and ATCs, version 22.3, which now includes expected standards of paperwork and required actions should these standards not be meet. Specific qualification Internal Quality Assurance Checklists have also been created to help IQAs ensure they have all the evidence they require to determine whether qualification certificates can be released or not. These checklists and the updated guidance document can be found within STA Online.

The online programme is free of charge and upon successful completion, 1 CPD point will be awarded. IQAs will be required to complete this CPD if they are to IQA STA qualifications.
