Pilot of Assessor & Verification Awards for Assessment & Verification that does not take place in the workplace.

We are currently conducting a pilot of two awards: PDA Carry out the Assessment Process & PDA Internally Verify the Assessment Process. These awards are suitable for assessors and verifiers within colleges, school/college partnerships, training providers, and companies who are offering qualifications which are not assessed or verified in the workplace or in workplace conditions, and who therefore are unable to provide evidence towards the A and V units.

These awards are suitable for use with a variety of qualifications including: Higher National Awards; Professional Development Awards; Skills for Work; Customised awards; National Qualifications and National Progression Awards, but this list is not exhaustive. Awards offered by other awarding bodies would also be appropriate.

For further information on these qualifications, please see the links above. For details of centres approved to offer these awards, please call our Customer Contact Centre on 0845 279 1000 or e-mail customer@sqa.org.uk
