Risk-based IQA
Plan, select, record and sign off internal quality assurance across learners, assessors, programmes, methods and risk factors.
Illustrative internal quality-evidence review
Illustrative IQA sampling and coverage view with sample data.
Definition
Risk-based IQA sampling software helps quality teams build a defensible sampling plan that balances coverage and risk across assessors, learners, programmes, assessment methods, sites and other relevant factors.
Journey applies configurable, human-controlled sampling rules and explains why each candidate was selected. Quality staff can see coverage gaps, conflicts, workloads, findings, actions and sign-off history without turning the sampling algorithm into an unreviewable black box.
Define coverage across learners, staff, programmes, sites, employers, methods and verified risk factors.
Every candidate shows the coverage and risk reasons behind the recommendation.
Record evidence, development actions, follow-up and controlled sign-off in one history.
Reveal gaps, repeated findings, overdue actions and quality trends before the cycle closes.

A sampling record is only useful if a reviewer can understand how the plan covered the provision and why particular work was selected. Journey keeps the rule, selection reason, evidence, finding, action and sign-off together in one tenant-scoped history.

Evidence-linked and accountable by design
Tenant-scoped access controls are designed to keep each provider's records separate on reads and writes.
Significant application state changes are recorded against the person who made them, supporting a traceable history.
Journey applies supported, versioned DfE funding-rule packs selected from the apprentice's start date, including 2026/27 version 3, to support provider review.
After provider, DPIA and release approval, Journey Advanced offers authorised drafts, K/S suggestions and fixed Director Insight views for human review. It does not make regulated decisions or change the source record.
Tenant isolation, access controls, audit records and governed operations are designed into the platform.
Export options are available under the applicable terms, and employer relationships remain with the provider.
Journey is independent software and is not DfE or Ofsted approved. It does not guarantee funding or inspection outcomes.
