During a recent CIBTAC audit for Developing Educators Academy, one simple conversation with an examiner made me stop and reflect on my role as an academy owner.

We often focus on teaching and assessing, but running a training academy requires more than delivery skills. It also requires a clear understanding of quality systems, compliance, and oversight.

In this episode of I’m No Rookie, I share what that audit highlighted and walk through the key qualifications every training academy owner should either hold or be working towards.

This episode is especially useful if you are a therapist considering starting your own academy, or you already run one and want to strengthen your quality processes.

What you’ll learn

• Which education and training qualifications matter at the academy level
• The different assessor qualification routes and why they exist
• Why the Internal Quality Assurance qualification becomes essential as you grow
• How these qualifications support audits, quality management, and compliance
