QAA Assessment
On 9 August 2012, following an investigation and inspection process, the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education issued a report on the provision of higher education services by the LSBF. The report's primary findings concluded that the partnership between the LSBF and the University of Wales had recruited more students than the LSBF's resource base justified, placing an intolerable burden on physical and human resources. The report concluded that the weaknesses were attributable to a range of factors including institutional immaturity and an inadequate understanding of the expectations of a higher education provider in the UK. Furthermore, it stated that the LSBF's admissions process was insufficiently closely managed, and led to the acceptance of many inappropriate students. It concluded that more recently LSBF had put in place measures to strengthen its quality management arrangements, but nonetheless requested it to report within 6 weeks an action plan to address the issues
The above issues were reassessed in review carried out by the QAA in September 2012, which concluded that LSBF has put in place measures to strengthen its quality management arrangements. The Review for Educational Oversight, published on 12 December 2012, concluded that “London School of Business & Finance is fulfilling its responsibilities for managing and enhancing the quality of the intended learning opportunities it provides for students”.

Famous quotes containing the word assessment:
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
