Assessment Strategy Update

We can confirm that the revised People 1st assessment strategy has now been approved and will come into effect for all Hospitality SVQs from 1October 2009. Please see attached for reference. 

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.

New Awarding Partnership Arrangements

From 1 October 2009 all candidate certificates for SVQs in Hospitality will be awarded by SQA only.

From 1October all candidate entry fees will revert to standard SQA pricing for SVQs. This means that entry fees will be reduced by £16.75 for all level 1, 2 and professional cookery level 3 SVQs and by £18.75 for the level 3 Hospitality Supervision ( recently reaccredited as Hospitality Supervision and Leadership).
