BTEC Lead Internal Verifier Roles and Responsibilities

It is a requirement for centres to identify a single Lead Internal Verifier (also known as the Lead IV or LIV) for every BTEC programme offered at Level 2 and 3.

The Lead IV acts as the point of accountability for the quality assurance of a BTEC programme. This means they should be involved in the assessment and delivery and have a good understanding of the units being assessed.

The BTEC Tech Awards for first teach from 2022 is the only exeption as this follows a different approach to quality assurance. Further information about the key roles and activities can be found in the Centre Guide Quality Assurance BTEC Tech Awards (2022).

Please refer to the BTEC Centre Guide for Lead Internal Verifiers.

We have a range of on-demand Continuing Professional Development (CPD) packages and live online events that can be accessed here.

Please subscribe to our YouTube channel Pearson – Vocational Quality Assurance where you will find useful bitesize videos covering the roles and responsibilities of the Lead IV.

For additional help and support for Quality Nominees and BTEC delivery teams, we have created dedicated quality assurance webpages that can be accessed via the Home of Quality Assurance. These webpages provide easy access to quality assurance guides, videos and resources, FAQs, regular updates, training events, live chat with an expert and much more.

We recommend Quality Nominees and BTEC staff join our Quality Nominees Group, here you can ask questions directly to the Vocational Quality Assurance Management team, browse posts/updates and share ideas and good practice with colleagues.
