Did You Know . . .
IVA
began as a response to widespread expressions of interest from S/NVQ
centres’ staff and awarding bodies’ external verifiers.
They wanted the establishment of a practitioner-led independent
body, funded by members’ subscriptions, which would
keep Assessors and Verifiers in touch with developing practice and
one another. DfES
supports IVA as an organisation that gives guidance and support
to assessors & verifiers and promotes their professional
development. Now in our tenth year we continue to receive excellent levels of support and growth in membership with members’assessment and verification interests already covering several hundred different qualifications and have developed into an organisation with an international membership with members in eight countries. IVA is now incorporated and hopes to obtain charitable status. IVA
provides a point of information and support for members irrespective
of the qualification they assess or verify. It promotes
and disseminates good practice through regional and international
seminars and workshops, free to members and publishes
and circulates the quarterly IVA Newsletter. Individual membership is restricted to assessors and verifiers who have been awarded with Training & Development D Units or Learning & Development A & V Units by any awarding body accredited to offer them by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) or Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). Members of IVA receive a unique reference number on registration and may use the post-nominal letters MIVA whilst in membership.
