Your SAR, QIP, data dashboards, key policies and curriculum documentation reviewed before we walk through the door.
Mock Inspections
You need to know how ready you really are. Not how ready you think you are.
Most providers believe they are more prepared than they are. A mock inspection is the only way to find out the truth — before it matters. QSG mock inspections are rigorous, realistic, and led by experienced inspection professionals who understand exactly how regulatory frameworks work in practice.
Why mock inspections matter
The gap between feeling ready and being ready is where providers fail.
Inspectors are not interested in what you tell them — they are interested in what they observe, what your data shows, and how confidently your people respond under direct questioning. Until your provider has been put through that pressure, you do not know what your inspection will look like.
We will make sure you walk away knowing precisely where you stand and exactly what to fix.
What's included
What your mock inspection includes
A full, rigorous engagement that mirrors a real regulatory inspection — and gives you the written evidence to act on every gap we find.
Senior leadership deep dive
We will make sure your leaders are ready for every question — about strategy, quality, curriculum, behaviour and outcomes.
Nominee challenge
Rigorous questioning that mirrors real inspection pressure. Your nominee leaves the day knowing exactly what is needed.
Learning walks & observations
On-site observation of teaching, learning and assessment. We see what regulators will see — and tell you what they will think.
Learner & apprentice voice
Direct conversations with learners and apprentices. We test whether the experience matches the documentation.
Full evidence trail audit
From intent to impact. We follow your evidence the way an inspector will, and tell you where it breaks down.
Written findings report
Strengths, areas for development, priority actions. Detailed, honest, and written so you can act on it immediately.
Leadership debrief
A structured conversation on findings and next steps with your senior team — so the action plan is owned, not just received.
Who it is for
Is this right for you?
If any of these apply, do not wait. The earlier you know where the gaps are, the more time you have to fix them.
- You are within 12 months of an anticipated inspection
- You have received a Requires Improvement judgement and need to demonstrate progress
- You want honest external challenge on your current position
- You are approaching your first inspection as a new provider
- You have new leadership and need an independent view of inherited risk
- Your nominee is new in role and needs to be tested before the day matters
