ABC of EQA Masterclass

Mr Finlay MacKenzie

The 'ABC of EQA' is the name of UK NEQAS Birmingham's EQA Scheme design, statistical handling and reporting approach to EQA. The 'A', 'B' and 'C' statistics themselves are at the core. For too long the art of EQA has been confused by a myriad of complicated acronyms and jargon. The 'ABC of EQA' has simplified all of this.

However, as with all superficial descriptions, these can often belie both the powerhouse and the subtleties of the underlying processes. This Masterclass will outline some of the ingenious parameterisations used, and will explain their rationale. By the end of the Masterclass, delegates will see not only where we are now, but where we see the future of the 'ABC of EQA', perhaps as it takes its place in a wider laboratory setting.
