Overview
The ISQua External Evaluation Association accredits the surveyor training programmes run by healthcare accreditation and external evaluation bodies worldwide. Its Guidelines and Standards for Surveyor Training Programmes, 4th Edition, set out across 32 criteria what a credible programme has to demonstrate: programme governance and objective setting, curriculum design, trainer selection and development, surveyor recruitment and selection, assessment of competence, ongoing development, and evaluation of the programme itself. This package turns those criteria into a training management system an accreditation body can brand and run.
Governance, roles, staffing and quality objectives are fixed in a quality manual, and a surveyor training scheme maps each standard and criterion to the process and evidence that answers it. Procedures run from programme planning and risk management through legal, ethical and intellectual property compliance, the surveyor competency framework and CPD recognition, trainer selection and evaluation, trainee enrolment and consent, training design and delivery, and assessment of competence, to complaints, appeals and review of programme effectiveness. A self-assessment tool works through all 32 criteria, supported by guidance on the rating scale and risk matrix and on preparing evidence, while initial, refresher and train-the-trainer curricula supply the teaching content.
What this system covers
- Programme governance and planning — objectives, roles, staffing and risk management for the training programme
- Curriculum and delivery — initial surveyor training, ongoing and update training, and train-the-trainer development
- Trainer selection, evaluation and development, including performance review of teaching
- Assessment of competence — assessment planning, result notification and calibration of assessor judgement
- Trainee administration — enrolment, information and consent, individual records, attendance and retention
- Equal opportunity, accessibility and special needs in access to training and assessment
- Complaints, appeals and corrective action raised by trainees, trainers or client organisations
- Readiness — self-assessment against all 32 criteria, trainee file audit and internal audit before survey
Who it's for
Written for accreditation bodies, external evaluation organisations and health authorities that train and maintain a survey workforce, and for the programme manager preparing an application to the ISQua EEA or answering findings from a previous survey. Working through it leaves every one of the 32 criteria with a named owner, a documented process and a place where its evidence sits, and gives trainees a programme that treats them consistently.
