Accredit a мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±/Dyscalculia course
How to accredit a course
British мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± Association (мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±) course accreditation is normally granted for four years. This is contingent on the Accreditation Board's approval of any significant changes to the course or its personnel during that time. It is the responsibility of the course leader to inform the Accreditation Board of any changes in order to retain мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± Accreditation. If you do not comply with this you may lose your мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± Accreditation.
Accreditation process
Complete the form and email to accreditation@bdadyslexia.org.uk. You will be sent a course accreditation pack which outlines the course criteria and quality assurance procedures and a SharePoint link to upload your documents.
- When you have read these documents, write your course proposal and send 2 hard copies to the address below and an electronic copy to the Accreditation Officer at accreditation@bdadyslexia.org.uk.
- We invoice with a purchase order
- A liaison team made up of Accreditation Board members will oversee the accreditation process and will communicate directly with you within 6 weeks of the application.
Criteria
The мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± will accredit a course if each of the following criteria is fulfilled:
- The course content meets the appropriate criteria in full.
- The quality assurance procedures are met in full.
- The course is directed and taught by appropriately qualified personnel. In particular all observation of practical work must be undertaken by a tutor who holds AMмÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± or equivalent. If the observing tutor is part of the teaching team it is important to ensure that he or she is formally inducted and all evaluations are monitored.
- Distance learning courses using tutors for observations should take formal steps to ensure cross moderation.
- Appropriate means are in place to assess students’ progress and their final level of attainment.
- An appropriately qualified external examiner must be appointed.
Re-accreditation
Courses will be re-accredited for a further four years if:
- the content has been up-dated to take account of changes in regulations and legislation relating to SpLD, development in SpLD research and approaches to teaching and support for SpLD
- any significant changes to the staff teaching the course and/or the processes of teaching and assessment fulfil the мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± course criteria
