Assessment Delivery Options with NQual
The NQual Approach
A fully managed assessment service. NQual's independent assessors deliver every assessment component, through to marking and results, so training providers can step back from assessment logistics and focus on preparing their apprentices.
Approved Centre Approach
A collaborative model for approved centres. NQual will always deliver one component, while your own trained assessors can deliver the remaining component(s) under NQual's ongoing External Quality Assurance — giving you greater involvement in delivery without compromising rigour, consistency, or compliance.
