Quality Practitioner Standard – Level 4

Apprenticeships > Quality Compliance Apprenticeships

Introduction

The Quality Practitioner Level 4 has four main elements: 1. Quality Planning (planning a delivery system for reliable outputs, such as implementing Quality Management Plans), 2. Quality Assurance (providing confidence to stakeholders that Quality standards are maintained, such as conducting audits), 3. Quality Control (verifying a product or service is meeting agreed specifications, such as carrying out inspections) and 4. Continuous Improvement (preventing recurrence of poor quality through analysis and addressing the root cause of poor quality, such as conducting investigations).

 

Curriculum Intent:  

  • To develop Learner’s knowledge, skills and behaviours to meet the needs of a successful quality practitioner. 
  • To develop and support personal growth and awareness. 
  • To provide a curriculum tailored to Learner and Employer needs for successful, sustainable change. 
  • To create learner led ‘stretch & challenge’ activities which will enhance behaviour and knowledge elements of the standards.
