Assessment Guidance
You must fully complete each of the questions within this assessment in order to achieve this unit. Once you have completed this assessment, your Assessor/Tutor will review your responses and provide you with detailed written feedback. The purpose of the feedback is to: – provide guidance and support to enable you to meet each of the assessment criteria – provide comment on the validity, accuracy, reliability and sufficiency of your answers – record any discussions that have taken place between you and your Assessor/Tutor
Once your Assessor/Tutor has reviewed your responses, they may give your assessment back to you and ask you to amend some of your answers if they do not meet the criteria. If this happens, your Assessor/Tutor will explain what you need to do. Once you have amended your answers, you will need to resubmit your Assessment to your Assessor/Tutor. Once your Assessor/Tutor has confirmed that your assessment meets the required standard, they will submit your work for quality assurance. This will show that the work has been completed to the Assessor’s/Tutor’s satisfaction. A sample of your work may also be reviewed by an Internal Quality Assurer. Their role is not to assess your work, as this is the responsibility of your Assessor/Tutor. The reason for this sampling is to monitor the consistency and quality of the marking and feedback that you receive from your Assessor/Tutor.
Internal/external quality assurance
At the end of the course, once your Assessor/Tutor has indicated that all learning outcomes have been achieved, your work may be submitted for internal quality assurance. The Internal Quality Assurer will confirm that your Assessor/Tutor is consistently and fairly marking work to the required standard. An External Quality Assurer, employed by the Awarding Organisation, will also check your work to ensure that it has been assessed in line with their agreed standards.
Certification process
When you have successfully achieved all of the assessments for the qualification, your Certificate will be requested from your Awarding Organisation and sent to you in recognition of your achievement.
