LEIA ASSESSMENT CENTRE K0643EU
Licence to operate as a Satellite Centre
LEIA is the trade association representing the majority of UK lift, escalator, stairlift, service lift and platform lift companies and suppliers
LEIA was requested to become an EAL Assessment Centre by its membership in order that that the standards of training should be monitored and improved for the training specific to this industry. LEIA has been involved in writing Evidence Routes for qualifications for many years.
The assessment centre is recorded on certificates issued by EAL. Registration and the subsequent certification through LEIA offers learners a certificate which include the Association’s name as the Assessment Centre, reflecting the industry in which the learner is qualified. This can only be achieved if the candidate is registered through LEIA.
To our members, a certificate bearing the LEIA logo, assures the employer that the candidate has been assessed by Lift / Escalator industry experienced assessors with evidenced Continual Professional Development.
Assessment Centres registering with LEIA will become ‘Satellite Centres’, and maintain that status by conforming to EAL standards and the conditions below. Satellite Centres will be expected to be an EAL Assessment Centre in their own right.
The roles and responsibilities of the Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) and Assessor will follow the standards of the awarding body in maintaining quality and accountability of training and approval.
LEIA, as an assessment centre, requests a commitment from those assessment centres wishing to register their IQA and Assessors directly involved with lift or escalator etc. qualifications.
In appointing a training provider as a Satellite, LEIA will undertake vetting of the experience and qualifications of the Assessors and IQA to ensure that they have appropriate experience in the industry and are suitable to undertake the work of Assessor and IQA
Centres wishing to deliver lift qualifications as a LEIA satellite centre must demonstrate having access to and an understanding of the current relevant British Standards related to Lift and Escalator technology, including but not limited to BS EN 81 series, BS EN 115, BS 7255, BS 7801, BS 5655 and BS 8486.
