List of courses approved with conditions attached

These courses have met most of our standards but have outstanding areas which require further assurance.

The open condition linked to the above course approval is listed below:

  1. The provider must continue to develop their programme of assessment including the following elements:
    • the assessment strategy
    • the assessment blueprint, which evidences that all of the generic shared learning outcomes are assessed robustly for each individual student
    • standard setting
    • responding to feedback from their external examiner
    • psychometric analysis
    • faculty development in assessment.

The legislation for the regulation of PAs and AAs allows us to attach conditions on approval when most of our standards are being met, but some areas require further assurance. By attaching conditions to approval, we ensure that any outstanding areas of our standards can be addressed through a targeted action plan and additional quality assurance activities.

We have agreed a targeted action plan for each course approved with conditions and this process enables us to withdraw conditions as soon as we are satisfied that our standards are being met in full. We will update this page accordingly.
