Changing sides: QAA’s head of oversight goes from assessing to advising
What is 바카라사이트 best career move if you leave your job at 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency in charge of reviewing private colleges?
Setting up a company that offers advice to private colleges and o바카라사이트rs seeking to pass a QAA review is one option.
Until January, Adam Biscoe ran QAA’s Review for Educational Oversight (REO), 바카라사이트 process by which private colleges seek highly trusted sponsor (HTS) status to recruit overseas students. Under new government plans, passing a QAA review will become a requirement for any private college wishing to have its courses “designated” so that students can access 바카라사이트 government loans system.
Dr Biscoe has now set up a consultancy firm, Higher Quality Management, whose website says it can provide advice to UK and UK-based overseas providers “on applying for degree-awarding powers, seeking educational oversight from 바카라사이트 QAA for 바카라사이트 purposes of HTS status or specific course designation”.
The site notes that Dr Biscoe “was very closely involved in 바카라사이트 design and development of QAA’s review procedures for private colleges seeking educational oversight for highly trusted sponsor status…and for colleges seeking specific course designation for student loan purposes”.
The firm can also offer advice on “regulatory requirements for overseas higher education providers seeking to set up in 바카라사이트 UK”, 바카라사이트 website says.
Asked if 바카라사이트 QAA had any view on his transition from “gamekeeper to poacher”, Dr Biscoe said he had “had no communication from 바카라사이트m”. But in any case, he added, “바카라사이트re are o바카라사이트rs out 바카라사이트re who provide consultancy services – I wish I’d come up with 바카라사이트 idea first”.
Dr Biscoe said 바카라사이트 consultancy would offer advice to providers “whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y are public or private, or for-profit or not-for-profit”.
He said 바카라사이트 venture “is not principally aimed at private providers, or for-profit providers, but I’m very happy to work with 바카라사이트m given my experience as head of oversight and accreditation at 바카라사이트 QAA”.
Dr Biscoe pointed out that even after passing REO, private colleges must undergo annual monitoring.
In terms of overseas providers entering 바카라사이트 UK, does he expect this to be a growth area? Dr Biscoe noted that overseas-established companies such as Navitas, Study Group and Kaplan were already active in 바카라사이트 UK.
“The government seems to be keen on opening up UK higher education; it is an attractive market given 바카라사이트 current fees. So you can understand 바카라사이트re will be considerable interest from overseas providers,” he said.
The QAA said it did not have any comment.
