My traning:L3 AET

Matthew provides a very high standard of education and training. The course included useful real-life examples, key studies and practical knowledge, which made learning easier and more meaningful.

The training was delivered partly online and partly through webinars, which worked really well. I never felt alone during the course and felt like I was attending real classes with support throughout. The PowerPoint presentations were clear, helpful and easy to follow.

Matthew is approachable, supportive and easy to communicate with. The website is well organised and easy to use.

One thing to be aware of is that the final session/conversation after completing the training was recorded. We were informed that the recording was for internal purposes only and would not be shared with other studentsot other patties.

Overall, I would highly recommend this training.

Y D Jadeja

I researched a lot and got in touch with many service providers before joining ETA for my Level 5 DiT. It has been an amazing experience completing my Level 5 Diploma in Teaching with ETA. The tasks are super organised, the online material is easy to follow and online portal is very structured.

A big thanks to Matt, who has been phenomenal throughout my learning journey. He has been very supportive and encouraging. I’ve asked hundreds of questions and Matt has always been patient to answer them.

My suggestion to anyone thinking about joining ETA is, just go for it! Stay in touch with Matt because his support and guidance make a huge difference.

Once again, a massive thank you to Matt and the whole ETA team for their support.

Andrew Cumiskey

Matthew provided prompt support and a wide range of resources to help me achieve the qual.

Josh Crossley

I would like to give my sincere thanks to Matt, my Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training tutor, for the outstanding support he provided throughout my qualification. From the very beginning, Matt was approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. He explained complex concepts clearly, provided constructive and timely feedback, and always encouraged me to reflect and improve my practice.
Whenever I faced challenges or needed reassurance, Matt was patient and supportive, offering practical guidance that helped me stay motivated and confident in my abilities. His teaching style made the course engaging and manageable, and his commitment to high standards pushed me to achieve my best work.
Thanks to Matt’s guidance and encouragement, I successfully completed my qualification and feel well prepared to progress in my teaching career. I am extremely grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone undertaking the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training.

Aleksandra Misztela

A professional, reliable training provider that I’d confidently recommend!
Genuinely one of the smoothest learning experiences I’ve had.
The communication stood out straight away - quick responses, clear guidance, and always helpful when I needed support. You don’t feel left guessing at any stage, which makes a big difference.
The platform itself is very straightforward to use. Everything is laid out clearly, with all the information you actually need to pass.
The whole process of getting certified felt well organised and stress-free. If you put the work in, passing quickly is absolutely achievable.

Thank you

Sarah Waylett

I would recommended Education and Training to complete a qualification. I have recently completed my EQA knowledge as a self directed course and found it very beneficial . The course enabled me to access the information that I required and support was available when I needed it.

Jimmy Adkins

I’ve just completed my Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment with The Education and Training Academy, and the experience has been outstanding. Matt has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire course. His friendly, approachable manner made the learning process genuinely enjoyable, and his feedback was always clear, informative, and constructive. I learned so much thanks to the way he explained things and guided me through each stage.

The support I received has been exceptional, and I’ve already recommended the course to several people including my wife, who works in early years within an SEN setting because the quality of teaching and feedback has been second to none.

Thank you, Matt, for all your hard work and for making this such a positive and confidence building journey.

Sunny Sandhu

An enjoyable experience from start to finish. The learning materials were well‑structured, clear, and genuinely informative. The tutor was attentive and easy to reach whenever support was needed. The learning portal was simple to navigate, with all the relevant information readily available.

I used The Education and Training Academy with the self study option which was perfect to go at my own pace but the support was always available via email or arranging a session with my tutor. Highly recommend!

Ayman Assaed

Farah Malik

I recently completed the Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment and Processes and Practice, and I couldn’t recommend this course highly enough. The training was clear, engaging, and very well structured. Starting with an interactive webinar gave me a strong foundation and made the learning experience enjoyable from the outset. The support throughout was excellent, and the course content was practical and relevant to real-world IQA responsibilities. It has helped me build confidence in my role, and I was even able to design and deliver a standardisation meeting as part of my learning. A fantastic course for anyone looking to develop their IQA skills and knowledge.

Lee Walker

I highly recommend the Education and Training Academy to anyone starting their journey in teaching, or looking to gain a solid foundation in education. A great investment in my professional development!

Lainey White

Education & Training Academy provide methods of studying and learning to accommodate different needs. I chose the self study learning which provided me with a flexible self-learning format. Ideal for individuals balancing full-time work and family commitments. The online learning portal is well-structured and provides accessible support documents and training materials. One-to-one meetings and feedback opportunities are readily available, making the learning experience both supportive and personalised. For anyone aiming to deepen their understanding of IQA this course provides a solid foundation and meaningful development opportunities.

Lee Walker

This course content was thorough and up to date, covering everything I needed to know

Ryan Barton

easy to follow. website is a bit difficult to navigate a first, but you learn how to get around it

Laura Dowker

I found the process of enrollment and beginning the course easy. Where I wasn't sure which tasks to start, the assessor made contact and booked a tutorial with me right away, and following this, I felt confident to complete the required tasks. Assessment was very quick

Lauren Atkinson

Very responsive and supportive

Grant Marshall

A really good overall experience with lots of material and support to get my qualifications.

nicola whitby

Both of my children required their Functional Skills Level 2 qualifications for college, and we were fortunate to come across this company. The course material was extremely thorough and informative. From the very first message, the team was incredibly helpful, supportive, and understanding, guiding us through every step of the process right up to the completion of their exams. Their responsiveness has been outstanding, with emails answered within just a few hours, and they consistently go above and beyond to provide the best support possible. I have already recommended their services to others seeking the same qualifications and will continue to do so with confidence. Thank you for your ongoing support and professionalism.

Krupa Jobanputra

Highly recommended for their professionalism and support. 5-star experience!

Amanda Preece

The experience has been good and the Tutor has been available when needed through accessing a simple booking system. The resources are good and easy to find on the system. Feedback from upload work has been concise and timely.

The Education and Training foundation course offered by this academy is exceptionally well-structured and comprehensive. The course materials are thorough and detailed, and the accompanying teaching videos are both informative and engaging. The level of support provided throughout the course is outstanding, ensuring learners feel guided and confident. I highly recommend both the course and the training academy to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in education and training.

Dean Lowdon

I took the Level 4 IQA course and the materials and support provided help me to complete it in a timely fashion.

Kirsty Turnbull

Great online training provider.. I would definitely recommend. I found this company online as well as some others. Having already started a similar online qualification with another company a couple of years ago The Education and Training Academy were significantly better (reasons below)....

I spoke first of all to Matt as I was unsure which was the best course for me. He was very helpful and give me honest and accurate advice on which was the best course to join.

I chose to do the online only version which was right for me, and found all the online videos and training material provided very helpful. As with all online training courses it can take a while to navigate around the platform but this one was fairly simple and easy to use once you had figured it out.

Communication overall was very good and I typically got quick and helpful emails/messages back. With the option to book online meetings if you need them, I did this once and found it helpful

I would definitely recommend this company and have already done this for two of my colleagues who want to do the same course

Stuart Williams

Completed my L4 EQA with with no issues and plenty of support when required.

john white

I would like to express my appreciation for the support I received while completing my EQA qualification. Your company provides high-quality training, and I found the tutor, Matt, to be both professional and approachable. To further enhance the learning experience, consider expanding on interactive elements in the training sessions. If you're looking to advance your professional development, I highly recommend the Education and Training Academy. Overall, it has been a valuable experience.

Sita Shah

The options to choose between a tutor lead course, online tutoring course and self-study course were really stand-out compared to most other training schools I looked into. This suited my requirements around other commitments and my preferred speed of study. In general the communication via the emails was reasonably quick with responses coming through within less than 5 days when asked. Only thing I found was a little misleading change of information or assessment requirements in my final few modules which I think should have been realistically updated on the online portals (I chose the self-study option). And the other thing I found a bit difficult was the microteach group sessions which were not as regular as I would have expected - however the option was provided to undertake a self micro-teach which (with a little luck) I was able to undertake eventually. Aside from this, the course content is thorough and helpful to all types of learners providing video footage, written text, regular assessments and portfolio requirements in an easy to access format via the online portal. Would recommend this course if you're in a hurry to qualify and looking for reasonable pricing structure. Thanks.

Adv vaishnavi devre

I would like to sincerely thank Matthew for his support throughout the course. He is an excellent trainer knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to provide guidance when needed.

Sinead Doyle

Fantastic company to complete my IQA course with, informative and supportive all the way through. Thank you!

claire Stanhope

Team have been amazing with support and quick to respond to questions and help when unsure of things.

Personally, from a dyslexic point of view the course book was at times a little confusing as was so busy. But this is my personal view point. And when I was stuck the team was there.

I would still recommend this course and think it is good for those that work in education

Ian Perkins

Having signed up for the AET with Education and Training Academy for the on line course the whole portal immediately appeared and access was straight forward . The portal was simplistic to navigate through and all of the material needed was available including books, lesson videos and all relevant portfolios. I was able to communicate with my teacher and the response was very quick and detailed. From a background with limited teaching experience the whole process was very interesting and informative and has given me confidence to move to the next level.
I would not hesitate in using ETA again for my next course.

Lisa Chamberlain

The Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment and Processes and Practice, delivered by the Education and Training Academy, is an accessible programme that offers a strong foundation in internal quality assurance. It combines video lectures, interactive quizzes, and hands-on projects to develop practical, industry-relevant skills. The flexible, self-paced format suited my learning needs, and the content is available at your pace. This course is a good choice for anyone looking to begin or advance their career in quality assurance

arron smythe

This has been on the best experience's I could of hoped for from a high level course. Engagement from the office has been great and its really helped me achieve a qualification that can change my life. I cannot thank Matt and the team enough. I highly Highly recommend for anyone looking to increase their life goals!

Steve Lilley

I have spent the last 2 years working with Matthew from The Education and Training Academy. I've really enjoyed my journey and feel that i have noticed my deliver of teaching improve dramatically without having to think about it and making an effort. I think the lessons and coursework have impacted hugely on my subconscious teaching ability.

The Education and Training Academy is the 4th awarding body for teaching qualifications I have used over the past 13 years and for me the best one. Some of the others I have used previously I haven't had any support and not completed courses or struggled to get courses finished. Matthew has been available for support regularly, laid out clearly what's needed and delivered really good sessions.

I've decided that I want to complete my IQA and so I'm going to use the Education and training academy for that due to my experience on my level5 in education and training.

Gary Stanley

Just completed Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment. Really good course. Good training material. Course was well structured. Matt was a great tutor and managed to keep all learners captivated throughout.

Paul Archenoul

I have recently completed training for my EQA qualification and found it highly valuable. The course provided a clear understanding of external quality assurance principles. Overall, it was a well-structured programmethat has enhanced my ability to ensure robust quality assurance within the sector.

Debbie Paradise

I recently completed my EQA qualification with Matthew and found the course to be well resourced and have all the information I needed to gain a thorough understanding of the processes of this role. The online recorded lessons which I could observe and take notes from aided my understanding and helped the beginning of my learning and the indepth information offered throughout enabled me to achieve enough knowledge to feel confident to begin work as an EQA. Thank you Matthew, much appreciated, Debbie

Lis McNally

I enjoyed being able to study at my own pace from home. The handbooks, tutorials and support were excellent.

level 4 award in the external quality assurance of assessment processes and practice

Designed for real professionals, not academics

Learners undertaking the EQA are already confident in assessment and internal quality assurance practice. They understand assessment decisions, standards and evidence at centre level and are now working across organisations, providers or systems.

This course supports that step up in responsibility. It develops the skills required to monitor assessment decisions externally, evaluate risk, provide developmental feedback to centres and assessors, and make defensible judgements that protect standards.

For organisations, this ensures external quality assurance activity is carried out consistently and in line with regulatory expectations.

This qualification is suitable for experienced assessors and IQAs who are carrying out or progressing into external quality assurance roles, professionals working with awarding organisations, and organisations developing senior quality capacity.

It is not suitable for those without prior assessment and internal quality assurance experience

What completing the EQA gives you

On completion of the EQA, learners are able to plan and carry out external quality assurance activity, monitor assessment practice across centres, evaluate risk, and make justified decisions that protect standards.

Individuals complete the course with a recognised qualification that supports progression into external quality assurance and senior quality roles.

Organisations benefit from quality professionals who understand how to balance consistency, support and compliance while maintaining confidence in assessment systems. In both cases, the outcome is the same: experienced practitioners capable of overseeing assessment quality at a system level.

Course structure and assessment

Assessment on the EQA is based on real external quality assurance activity wherever possible. Learners complete written tasks alongside evidence drawn from genuine EQA practice, supported by clear guidance on what evidence is acceptable and how it should be presented.

Guidance is provided on centre monitoring, risk evaluation, reporting and feedback. Learners are supported to understand what constitutes appropriate EQA evidence and how to present it clearly against awarding body criteria.

Assessment is treated as a supported professional process rather than an academic exercise.

Learning materials and support

To reduce uncertainty, learners are provided with structured templates and shown anonymised examples of pass-level work for guidance. These examples are used to make expectations clear, not to be copied, and help learners understand how assessment criteria are met in practice.

This clarity significantly reduces anxiety, improves confidence and supports successful completion, particularly for those returning to study after a long gap.

Clear expectations, with examples

Learners receive access to a comprehensive eLearning package, including presentations, handouts, study guidance and structured learning plans. Materials are available online with 24/7 access across devices for the duration of the course.

Support is available throughout your studies, including tutor guidance, feedback on submitted work and access to scheduled support sessions or webinars where applicable. The focus is on clear communication, constructive feedback and helping learners progress confidently through the course.

This approach leads to stronger completion rates and a better learning experience overall.

Instant AI feedback alongside human tutor support

As part of the course, learners have access to AI-supported marking and feedback tools that provide instant, formative feedback on draft work.

This allows learners to check clarity, structure and alignment with assessment criteria before submitting work for formal marking. It helps identify gaps early, build confidence and reduce unnecessary re-submissions.

AI feedback is used to support learning, not replace assessment. All final assessment decisions are made by qualified tutors against published awarding body criteria.

For learners, this means faster insight, clearer expectations and less uncertainty while drafting work.

For organisations, it provides greater consistency, earlier intervention where needed, and improved completion confidence across cohorts.

FAQs

Do I need to already work as an EQA?

Yes, you must be working as an EQA with an Awarding Organisation to fulfil the requirements of Unit 2.

I already hold Unit 1, do I need to take the full course?

No, if you already hold Unit 1 Level 4 Award in Understanding External Quality Assurance, you can jump straight into Unit 2 and apply for a £50 discount. You will need to submit evidence of your certificate upon enrolment.

How is the qualification assessed?

I Work for an Awarding Organisation, can a Colleague observe me?

Your observer must hold both units to observe you. This is possible but you must submit CVS and Certificates if your colleagues observe you to verify competence. All of our team are trained and certified to carry out these observations and will carry these out if you do not have a colleague that can assess you.

I only carry out remote EQA activities, can I meet the qualification requirements?
