Employer Direct Model

As a reminder of our previous Accreditation News article on the Employer Direct Model, Awarding Bodies and SSCs are reminded that:

for SVQs – where assessment strategies stipulate that employer/alternative training can be used as an in place of Assessors and Verifiers achievement of the A and V Units. SQA Accreditation would require Awarding Bodies to:

map the training against the A and V Unit competences
identify and ensure that any gaps will be addressed to fully match the A and V Unit requirements.
provide written endorsement which indicates acceptance of the training as a direct equivalent to the A and V Units.

Awarding Bodies must ensure that the above is available for the purposes of SQA Accreditation audits.
