Awarding Body
CQI - Chartered Quality Institute, previously the IQA - Institute of Quality Assurance, before Chartered status.
Successful students will be able to apply for Associate Membership of the CQI and gain the designate ACQI.
Entry Requirements
The CQI stipulates no specific entry requirements, however, students must have a good standard of numeracy and literacy, as specific modules within the qualification require calculations and written essay work. GCSE Maths and English or equivalent are advisable. Students may be new to quality and therefore will have little current experience to support their application.
However, students that are in a working environment involving quality would benefit from this qualification, as they will be able to apply some of the theories and techniques in the workplace and see the results first hand. Students who are not working will benefit from finding volunteer positions within a quality working environment.
