RMPS: Quality Assurance - external verification

External verification is part of our quality assurance process designed to ensure that a centre's assessment approach and assessment judgements are valid, reliable and meet national standards.

All internal assessments must be internally verified by centres.

Unit assessment

The qualifications offer opportunities for personalisation and choice. You have flexibility to determine the appropriate methods of assessment for learners, and to use their professional judgement in determining whether or not a candidate's evidence meets the Outcomes and Assessment Standards of the Unit.

Any evidence for assessment must be of a type that allows valid judgements to be made against Outcomes and Assessment Standards. Candidate evidence for Unit assessment in this subject is therefore likely to include some of the following:

• text, graphical or pictorial evidence, including printable electronic
• electronic product that is not printable (eg digital media, audio-visual)
• oral presentation or other oral response

All Units for this subject are likely to have evidence that is suitable for submissionfor a verification event - see Evidence for verification events
