The Open Training College undertakes quality assurance activities to ensure all its activities as a college meet the highest standards. These activities include:

• Self Evaluation
• External Review
• Stakeholder discussions

Each of these activities is informed by the College’s:

• Guiding Principles
• Mission
• Ethos
• Pedagogical Practice

This quality assurance activity is applied to eight core areas of College activity. However, the procedure may also be applied to other activities that the College becomes involved in. The eight core areas are:

• Identification and development of new courses
• Working in partnership with agencies and representative bodies
• Staff development and support
• All elements of the Supported Open Learning model and eLearning
• Stakeholder involvement
• Management and administration
• Equipment and facilities
• Ancillary college activities

Please note, the Open Training College’s quality model is currently under review.
