TMG PACC MIAA EPA QA

DETAILS OF ORGANISATION/BUSINESS DIRECTORATE

 

The TMG is a collaborative construct to manage the delivery of the training outputs required by the RN.

• Setting & communicating the strategy and direction for the training system, acting in accordance with policy & strategic priorities set by NCHQ.
• Exercising governance & control over the training system to ensure that the RN's requirements are met and that resources are prioritised and deployed effectively (including in relation to training modernisation).
• Ensuring that risks to training operations and training output delivery are identified & managed effectively

Within the TMG, the Pipeline Accreditation (PACC) team’s role is to ensure accreditation requirements for each profession are met within resource envelope.

 

The Military Independent Assessment Authority is the End Point Assessment (EPA) Organisation for several Apprenticeship Standards across the RN. Recent Government legislation has resulted in the movement of ‘Framework’ apprenticeships to ‘Standards’. This necessitates the creation of End Point Assessments for the Apprenticeships delivered by the RN. The primary role of the MIAA is to act separately from other training aspects to offer unbiased grading assurance on EPAs and to apply for the apprenticeship certification on the Standards it is registered for. The MIAA is externally assured by Ofqual.
