So, could anyone please set out and explain to me what BASC accredited providers actually do to meet whatever these 'stringent quality control requirements' are in order to be a 'BASC accredited provider'?? A BASC provider would not answer this question when it was put to them having used this status as a primary selling point for why they are 'the best'.
It seems to be a bragging point that I have seen used more than once to say BASC providers are better than other providers from different assessment centres. OK, so why, please explain? BASC is only one of several assessment centres and is not DMQ so basically all DMQ approved assessment centres are of equal standing. My centre as well as all other college based Assessment Centres are HM inspected every few years to ensure that standards of quality are maintained in their educational provision. Reports on the findings are available online about the performance for each centre. Is BASC..inspected in such a way too??
ps. do not use this thread as a BASC bash, it's purpose is just to get some answers out in the open
