Centre Assessment Strategy for SVQs in Hospitality from 1 October 2009 (339 KB)

The most significant amendment to the strategy is the removal of the independent assessment component. The question bank originally developed for this will continue to be made available. Centres are free to use this as a delivery resource to cover underpinning knowledge requirements on the SVQ but it will no longer be required for formal summative assessment purposes.
