Quality Assurance Process

Successful Resource funding recipients will be provided with a list of expert literacy and numeracy QA consultants from DEST and are required to engage a consultant for the duration of the project. These expert consultants are advisors who act as ‘critical friends’ to developers of training package support materials throughout the development process.

The consultant will provide ongoing reports to the Co-ordinator, Quality Assurance, DEST for the duration of the project, however the final evaluation report must be submitted by the funding recipient to:
