Learners/Delegates should be assessed using a range of assessment methods that meet the Tasks or Assessment Criteria from the qualification specification. The three main assessment methods used will be:

• Observation
• Written
• Questioning

All learner/delegate evidence should be completed within the Learner/Delegate Evidence Record and assessment must be recorded by the Tutor/Assessor with comments to support the assessment decisions made along with dates/signatures.

These are adjustments made to an assessment for a qualification so that a disabled learner can demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding of the qualification.

For more information see the Statement of Principles in Applying Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations (within the Reasonable Adjustments & Special Considerations Policy). 

These are considerations to be given to Learners if an illness, injury or some other vent outside of their control has a material impact on their ability to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding.

Our qualifications allow ongoing assessment so if a learner is affected for one assessment the Centre should allow the learner another assessment opportunity.

For more information see the Statement of Principles in Applying Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations (within the Reasonable Adjustments & Special Considerations Policy).

You are permitted to deliver your qualifications in any language which is appropriate to your learners. However, we ask that your course evidence (ie: Learner Evidence Record) is completed in English.
