Model document library

Editable, white-label model policies, free to registered providers of every size. A provider may adopt an IVOSA model policy directly, or confirm its own equivalent arrangements — one registration standard either way.

Adopting a model policy is a commitment to implement and follow it — not just to link to it. Where a provider prefers its own policy, IVOSA tests for an equivalent outcome, not identical wording or structure.

Core provider policies

Every registered provider adopts or confirms an equivalent for each of these six, regardless of size or delivery model.

1. Quality of Training

Trainer competence, course content and delivery, learner numbers, equipment, monitoring and improvement.

2. Assessment and Certification

How practical competence is assessed and a certificate is issued only once required outcomes are met.

3. Learner Support and Adjustments

IVOSA documents — not provider policies

These are set and administered by IVOSA itself. A provider does not author, adopt or adapt them — they describe how IVOSA runs the standard, not how a provider runs its business.

IVOSA Standard v0.1

The published standard every registration is assessed against.

See Standards View →

IVOSA Certificate Content Standard

The certificate content IVOSA requires — set centrally so certificates are comparable across providers, not written by each provider individually.

All six core policies, all three conditional policies and the combined handbook are drafted for this prototype (v1.0), superseding the earlier three-document sample. The IVOSA-administered documents above are listed for completeness of the model-document suite and have not yet been drafted — a deliberate scope decision, not an oversight.
