How do we ensure quality of delivery?
NETA has a Performance Planning and Monitoring Department (PPM), which is responsible for auditing the quality of delivery.
Their responsibilities include ensuring that the assessment, verification and NVQ procedures comply with Awarding Body requirements.
To this end, they will arrange regular development sessions with relevant staff to update them in the latest requirements.
They also carry out observations of teaching, learning and reviewing on every Instructor, using a checklist, which has been highlighted as good practice by both the Subject Learning Coach network and Ofsted.
Development issues are agreed and progressed.
This feeds into the staff development process.
