Unit Specification
Access
- Candidates should have a good understanding of internal quality assurance and how it relates to the assessment cycle. This may have been gained through already having had some involvement in teaching/learning, assessment or the internal verification processes.
- Access to this Unit is however at the discretion of the centre.
Assessment
- Candidates will gain this Unit by providing evidence of their competence as a practising internal verifier. This evidence can be generated by verifying evidence that has been assessed in a variety of non-workplace assessment contexts, for example assessing candidates for a First Aid Certificate in a simulated environment, assessing PC Passport in an open access centre, or assessing Units in a classroom environment.
- It is important that the assessment on which the verification activities are based have a real purpose for the learner (eg to gain recognition and/or a qualification) and is not contrived simply for the purpose of gathering their evidence, as a verifier-candidate, to meet the requirements of the Unit.
