Format Of The Meeting

There will normally be a private meeting of the Validation Panel, then a first meeting with the Qualification Design Team, a second private meeting of the Validation Panel, then a final meeting with the Qualification Design Team. This process will be strengthened if all members of the Validation Panel have completed the validation checklists and noted any issues they wish to raise and this should be highlighted at any training meeting.

The validation meeting is a formal peer review, the aim of which is to look objectively at the proposal and, if appropriate, recommend changes to enhance the proposed award. The QDT should remember that the panel have been asked to bring their experience in education or related vocational areas. Any recommendations and conditions proposed by the Validation Panel should not be taken personally.
