1Employer-Funded Bootcamp: Whose Satisfaction Counts?
A private coding bootcamp is funded by a consortium of five regional employers. Its EOMS scope covers 'workforce-ready software development training.' The quality policy states: 'We exist to meet employer hiring needs; learner satisfaction is secondary because employers pay the fees.' The only EOMS objective is '85% of graduates hired by consortium members within six months.' The bootcamp surveys employer supervisors quarterly but has no learner survey, no learner complaint log, and no analysis of dropout reasons.

At the closing meeting of a surveillance audit at a nursing college, you present a minor nonconformity: 'Assessment rubrics for the clinical simulation module were not approved before use for the 2023 cohort; 42 learner results were released on unapproved rubrics.' The evidence is a version-controlled rubric with no approval signature or date and an email from the module lead saying 'use the draft, approval will follow.' The vice-principal says the rubrics were reviewed in a staff meeting, but no minutes are available, and insists you remove the finding because results were not affected. The audit is due to close in 30 minutes.
