Enquiries, appeals and complaints
An enquiry in this instance relates to queries regarding assessment decisions, and/or decisions made by CiQ as a result of quality issues within any of our approved providers.
A complaint is a concern about a service, or lack of service provided by CiQ or approved provider to students.
An appeal is a concern about the assessment decision given by CiQ or centre that affects a candidate. Approved providers are expected to have complaints and appeals procedures. If candidates have a complaint or an appeal, they must follow their procedures in the first instance.
CiQ will require details of the outcomes of these processes when investigating a complaint or an appeal.
Complaints
When a complaint is made, CiQ will require:
A description of the problem (including when it happened)
A contact name
