Hodgson ConsultancyLess paperwork. Stronger quality. Audit-ready in three days.
I review your assessment and IQA processes, find what’s slowing your team down or leaving you exposed, and hand you a clear plan to fix it. One fixed price, delivered by me.
Quality teams are busy. Not all of that work is helping.
Forms on top of forms
Every EQA visit added another sign-off. Now your assessors spend more time on paperwork than on learners.
Reforms keep moving
New assessment plans, Skills England changes and AO updates land mid-year, and someone has to work out what they mean for you.

From here to here, in three days.
You send your documents. I do the work. No lengthy interviews, no disruption to delivery.

What people I’ve worked with say
Kev has a real talent for taking requirements and turning them into clear, workable solutions that support both quality and consistency. His knowledge, attention to detail and commitment to getting things right have made a real difference.
Kevin brought a wealth of knowledge in assessment and curriculum development. I’d happily recommend him to any team looking to strengthen their curriculum and assessment practice.
Kevin oversaw real improvements to our quality assurance processes and was very supportive as I stepped into the role of EQA. He works supportively with centres to ensure excellent provision for learners while keeping standards high across the board.
I’ve seen assessment from every side of the table.
I’m Kevin. I’ve been a teacher and head of department, an examiner and verifier, a quality assurance manager and an awarding body designer. Today I write and review national qualifications and apprenticeship assessments.
That means I know what an EQA is looking for when they sample your portfolios, and I know which paperwork actually helps them see it. I’ll tell you plainly what matters, what doesn’t, and what to do next.
A note on independence. Alongside my consultancy, I work for an awarding organisation. I don’t take on work that would conflict with that role, and we’ll check this together on our first call.
