Compliance. Quality. Confidence.

Vocational Quality Assurance & Risk Specialists

We are BTEC & AAQ specialists in Quality Assurance, Risk & Compliance. We help schools and trusts identify risks early, ensure compliance, and secure strong student outcomes.

Huie Consulting works with schools, sixth forms and multi-academy trusts to ensure their BTEC and AAQ provision is compliant, high-quality and delivering strong student outcomes.

We provide ongoing strategic and practical support for leaders and teaching teams responsible for vocational qualifications — helping them to meet awarding body requirements, strengthen teaching and assessment, and improve results.

We act as a BTEC & AAQ standards partner for schools that want confidence in their vocational provision.

Our work typically includes:

Identify risks and gaps in moderation or inspection
Quality Assurance reviews/audits to ensure compliance
Curriculum and pathway planning for BTEC/AAQ programmes
Assessment, internal verification and marking quality
Teaching and learning support for vocational staff
Lesson observations and developmental feedback
Results tracking and improvement planning
Awarding body and Ofsted readiness
Learning Resources

This support is delivered through termly and annual partnerships, not one-off training days — so schools have consistent, expert oversight throughout the academic year.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Transitioning to the new BTEC Health and Social Care & Applied Science AAQ was a significant undertaking, but the support of Leonie made the process manageable and clear. Leonie worked closely with our teachers to ensure our marking was accurate. The support also extended beyond our own corridors; by coordinating visits to other schools, Leonie helped us see the qualification in action elsewhere, which was a huge boost for our confidence. From refining our assessment tracking to sharpening our lesson delivery, the practical approach took the guesswork out of the new specification.

Policy & System-Level Advisory

Alongside bespoke consultancy support for teachers, schools, and trusts delivering BTEC and AAQ programmes, Huie Consulting contributes practitioner-led insight to education policy discussions relating to vocational education and post-16 pathways.

Drawing on over 20 years’ experience in education and direct work with schools nationally, our focus is on helping decision-makers understand how policy reforms play out in classrooms, assessment, and accountability frameworks.

Areas of particular interest include:

Vocational and technical education reform (BTECs, AAQs and post-16 pathways)
Post-16 accountability, quality assurance, and governance
Equity and social mobility within vocational routes
Apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships as progression pathways

We welcome engagement with MPs, parliamentary groups, civil servants, and policy organisations seeking evidence-based insight grounded in front-line vocational education practice.
