| Becoming an accredited assessor The assessor training programme is designed for participants who assess or intend to assess candidates against lead body standards in the workplace. Participants will be given skills to design, develop assessment instruments, guides and plans based on given source documents, including VQ standards. At the end of this course the candidate will be required to register for the assessor qualification units. To achieve these units the participant will be observed in carrying out a minimum of three assessments and then creating a portfolio of evidence of these assessments which proves competence in the areas he or she is carrying out the assessments. The trainee will also have to answer a series of knowledge questions set by the lead body and have a professional discussion which is minuted and added to their folio. All of the above will be audited prior to final submission to the lead body prior to final approval by them and issuing of a certificate. | |
