From April 2018 Ofqual is aligning their timelines with the IfA’s submission dates. This means that if your Assessment plans need external quality assurance from Ofqual, you no longer need to submit to Ofqual separately.
When submitting your plan through the IfA’s online portal you only need to select Ofqual as your EQA provider and Ofqual will review the submissions at the same time as the IfA.
