Aims
The key aims of the training provided by EQ-Arts are designed to enable participants to adapt a range of their pre-existing skills to form a competence to work as an international peer-review expert in the field of external QA (in line with the ESG 2015 guidelines).
The training provides insight into the operation of The European Standards & Guidelines (ESG) and current developments in the area of external quality assurance and enhancement processes, as well as hands-on, practical guidance on how to participate successfully in international external QA processes.
The format of the training is designed so as to replicate the required preparation, teamwork, report writing and intensity of workload and complexity of task associated with international quality assurance processes. From the beginning of the training through to the end, participants will be actively engaged in a simulation exercise that mirrors how they would be expected to perform in an external international QA visit.
Background
