QAA publishes guidance on Educational Oversight Review

Following an extensive process of consultation conducted this Spring, QAA has published guidance on the new Educational Oversight Review (EOR) method, along with our response to the outcomes of the consultation.

The new EOR method will be used for reviewing and monitoring private providers of higher education courses in the UK that do not receive direct annual public funding from any UK higher education funding or regulatory body. It replaces the four separate methods that were previously used.

The Guidance for providers explains EOR's background, function and components, and details the elements involved in the review and monitoring processes.

"We're very grateful to everyone who participated in this process to develop this robust, equitable and comprehensive new review method," says Adam Surtees, Assessment Services Manager at QAA.

The Educational Oversight Review Guidance for providers and accompanying Analysis of consultation responses and decisions is available on the Educational Oversight Review web page.
