Quality Assurance System
We are providing training and assistance to a number of organisations in implementing PQASSO (Practical Quality Assurance System for Small Organisations). PQASSO is one of the most popular quality assurance systems designed and used within the voluntary and community sector.

It enables organisations to work at their own pace in determining and implementing continuous improvement within their organisation.

Training Programmes
KVA offers two formal training programmes during the year, one is run in spring and the other in autumn, which reflect the diverse and complex needs of organisations in the voluntary sector. Please refer to our Training page for further details. KVA has also just launched a series of training courses aimed specificially at Community Development Workers in the voluntary and community sector.
