The Head of Centre is formally responsible for ensuring that the centre acts in accordance with Edexcel’s terms and conditions of approval.
These include ensuring the provision of appropriate resources, recruiting learners with integrity, providing full and fair access to assessment, maintaining full and accurate records of assessment, complying with all of Edexcel’s quality assurance processes and ensuring that all certification claims are secure and accurate.
Day-to-day responsibility is normally delegated to the centre’s Quality Nominee.
Senior managers should:
- Appoint a Quality Nominee who can act as a key point of contact with Edexcel
- Liaise with the Quality Nominee to ensure that all processes are being conducted effectively
- Support the Quality Nominee in putting actions in place to respond to reports on quality assurance processes.
