THE FIA QUALIFICATION SCHEME - CHARTER


The purpose of the charter is to enable the FIA to monitor any problems with the operation of the QSD, and to ensure that a quality service is provided by the QSD to FIA members. Any non-compliance with the charter will be brought to the attention of the full FIA Council. Where such non-compliances are judged to be serious or of significant concern, the FIA will take action to improve the operation of the QSD. Such action as may also be required will also be taken should high levels of minor non-compliances be identified.

The actions available to the FIA are to:
review the operation of the QSD;
tighten or improve procedures;
allocate greater resources;
change QSD committee members.


The QSD objectives are to:

make decisions in the best interests of
the industry, the FIA and FIA members;
promote the FIA Qualification Scheme; deal efficiently with any Qualification
Scheme issues;
refer any non-standard queries to the
next QSD committee meeting;
ensure information is available and is
communicated efficiently;
minimise FIA costs and fees
consistent with the long-term viability
of the scheme;
ensure equal opportunities wherever
possible, for example the FIA may
make allowances for examinations
where the trainee does not have
English as a first language. Allowances
could include a longer time allowance,
but must not compromise the standard
of the award.

 


The FIA is operating the Qualification Scheme in the interests of the fibre optic industry and is seeking to keep costs
to a reasonable level forboth providers and learners.

As a result, the FIA is not in a position to compensate any organisation for any alleged loss of business as a result of the QSD failing to comply with a charter objective. This should be clearly understood by any organisation basing a business case or commercial decision around the FIA Qualification Scheme.
