Qualification Overview

The IE-Level Qualification framework, administered by IAS-IEAB, employs a distinctive pedagogical approach that fundamentally differs from conventional academic programs. Rather than offering discrete subject-based instruction in traditional disciplines such as mathematics or language arts, our curriculum adopts an innovative, integrated learning model with the following key characteristics:

1. Holistic Learning Methodology

• All developmental domains are interwoven through thematic units

• Subject boundaries are intentionally blurred to mirror real-world learning

• Cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development occur simultaneously

2. Play-Based Instructional Design

• Primary learning modality: Purposeful play activities

• Carefully structured game scenarios serving specific developmental objectives

• Environment as the "third teacher" (inspired by Reggio Emilia approach)

3. Neurodevelopmentally-Appropriate Structure

• 5-minute activity rotation cycles aligned with typical attention spans

• Multisensory stimulation in each learning segment

• Gradual progression from concrete to abstract experiences

No coursebooks are set for the IE-Level Qualification

It takes 1 year to complete the IE Level Qualification

The IE-Level Qualification employs a supportive assessment methodology, conducted exclusively by the IAS-IEAB Global Internal Assessment Team. This process ensures a consistent, guided, and internally validated evaluation, with no external assessment involvement.

The supportive assessment approach is designed to provide candidates with structured feedback and developmental insights, fostering professional growth while maintaining rigorous qualification standards.
