Quality Partnering

The Quality Partnering team are based mainly in Schools to support you with the necessary understanding of all quality processes, including moderation, evaluation, and monitoring. The team also assists you with Grade Approvals and Programme completions.
The team partners with Heads, Academic Programme Managers, and Lecturers.

Senior Quality Administrators work primarily within schools as the key point of contact for Academi Quality related matters, including:

• meeting all quality requirements
• making sure that records and documentation are accurate, up to date, and compliant
• supporting Programme Academic Quality Committees (PAQCs) in their work

Quality Administrators provide additional support to Team Leaders and Senior Quality Administrators across a number of different administrative systems.
