Academic Management Review (AMR) involves an annual visit that critically reviews centre-wide quality assurance systems. It confirms that you have quality processes and procedures in place to ensure effective management, delivery, and assessment of higher level BTEC qualifications. It focuses on cross-centre management of higher-level vocational provision and scrutiny of current centre records. 

Pearson Centre Quality Mangers (CQM) confirm who will receive an annual visit in September / October each year and AMR visits take place between 1st October and 31st July, with any actions being followed up within 3 months of you receiving your report. 

We allocate a Centre Quality Manager (CQM) to lead the review of your centre-wide quality assurance systems against the Quality Measures framework to provide judgements and feedback. Your CQM will support you in identifying good practice and areas for further development. This process is a supportive and developmental process, which will benefit your centre, whether new to Level 4- 7 provision, or an experienced provider.

Academic Management Review supports you to identify good practice and areas for further improvement. Academic Management Review also applies to any Alternative Providers and FE Colleges where an exceptional arrangement is in place. 

It is important to remember that Academic Management Review is in addition to External Examiner verification, which must still be completed successfully to claim certificates for students.
