We are calling for volunteers to join our pool of CIBSE EPA Internal Quality Assurers, who are responsible for moderating at least 10% of our End Point Assessment interviews. The Internal Quality Assurer will observe an interview and review grading decisions via attending a live session or by viewing a recording to ensure assessments meet the requirements of the assessment plan and to monitor the assessor's conduct.
The EPA is a national qualification, regulated by Ofqual, and the apprentice’s Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) are assessed to confirm their occupational competence. The EPA’s KSBs are directly mapped to the UK-SPEC competences for EngTech and IEng.
CIBSE is passionate about EPA, and together with your help we can increase opportunity and diversity within the building services sector.
For more information on EPA, visit www.cibse.org/EPA.
The role of a moderator is to ensure:
- The Moderator will be observing that CIBSE’s administration processes, assessor conduct, and the requirements of Ofqual and the Engineering Council are being followed
- That the assessment meets the requirements stipulated in the apprenticeship’s assessment plan
- That the End Point Assessment is a comparable and equitable assessment for all apprentices
- That CIBSE’s standards and consistency are being maintained
- Observe if there are any areas where general training may be required and if any process improvements are needed
- Provide feedback and any recommendations for improvements as required
- Undertake annual EPA refresher training and standardisation events.
All Internal Quality Assurers must:
- Be fully registered with the Engineering Council at IEng or CEng
- Be currently working in the building services industry and have at least 5 years’ industry experience.
- Maintain, record and submit your CPD on an annual basis.
- Not involved with the design, delivery or award of End Point Assessment.
EPA IQA’s are remunerated per interview, it can be used as part of your CPD and contributes towards CIBSE fellowship.
