Become a UK Excellence Award Assessor

The BQF enjoys the voluntary services of a large number of highly skilled Award assessors every year to help with the UK Excellence Award process.

Assessors must have received formal training in the latest version of the EFQM Excellence Model. Also note that there is a serious time commitment involved with being an Award assessor which can range from 15 to 20 days during the assessment period (March to July).
