Looking to move away from assessor qualifications?

Assessor qualifications are not always the best option for every organisation.

We can offer three alternative options which are available as training workshops or through PLUS, our online and blended learning portal.

All options include the following:

• The assessor training options enable you to train your assessors on your assessment process.
• Your assessors will learn what is expected from them as assessors, the key steps of the assessment process and the key skills they need in order to be effective assessors.
• Your assessment paperwork and assessment processes can be built in so that the assessors have a better understanding of how to assess in their workplace.

Training only
Training only can be the best option for some organisations. The main limitations with this option are that firstly, we are not able to check each assessor’s understanding and knowledge beyond what we can see through the training.

Secondly, the assessors are not supported as they transfer their knowledge back to the workplace in their role as assessors.

Training with Knowledge Assignment
The knowledge assignment enables you to check the assessors have understood the main principles of assessment.

This option enables us to check each assessor’s understanding of the key elements of the training.

Training with Practical Assignment – Certificate of Competence
This option can be very useful where the assessor qualification options (SQA L&D9D and SQA L&D9DI) may not be appropriate but your organisation wants to achieve some form of certification for your assessors.

In addition to proving certification, this option also provides a very useful feedback loop for people who are new to the assessor role and will help to identify where they are meeting the requirements of this role as well as any ongoing development requirements.

For more information on any of the above assessor training options, please call us on +44 (0)1651 873398 or email [email protected].
