Positioning the role
As a QA2 reviewer, instructional designers apply the NASBA standards when reviewing courses to ensure the courses meet NASBA’s continuing professional education (CPE) requirements. Learners at EY value CPE-compliant learning, because it enables them to maintain their professional licenses as accounting, audit and tax professionals, and it also enables them to meet the firm’s continuing education requirements as client-facing professionals. The CPE standards published by NASBA are founded in sound instructional design principles, so courses that are CPE-compliant are designed, developed and deployed in accordance with these principles. At EY, the QA1 and QA2 review process is a control put in place to ensure EY courses that award CPE credit meet the NASBA standards. This mitigates risk to the firm and our people, thus these technical reviews are critically important.
Accurate completion of QA2 reviews benefits the learners at the firm, but these reviews also benefit the QA2 reviewers in their professional development. Specifically, performing these reviews offers these benefits to learning/instructional designers:
- Builds technical instructional design knowledge and experience: By applying the NASBA standards during QA2 reviews, reviewers gain proficiency in instructional design methodology and practice for a variety of learning delivery modalities. This knowledge and experience gained in these reviews can be directly applied to course design and development activities.
- Develops a transferrable set of regulatory, compliance or certification skills: By applying the regulatory requirements of CPE-compliant courses during QA2 reviews, reviewers develop skills that translate to other instructional design work, either in other regulated environments that mandate continuing education to maintain licenses, to the learning component of certification programs across different industries or to other types of compliance reviews of learning content.
- Increases exposure to a variety of courses and design techniques: The QA2 reviews expose reviewers to a much larger pool of courses than they will work on as part of course design and development projects. This enables reviewers to review the work of other learning designers, acquainting them with a variety of design choices, including innovative learning activities, that the reviewers can then include in their own creative instructional design toolkits.
