SQA conducted a successful EV visit on Albion centre relating to the Assessor Qualifications we now deliver. Outcome of visit was very successful with EV commenting under Good practice section –
1. Very detailed and candidate friendly induction material and very clear guidance on evidence requirements and standards
2. Discussion during induction of common errors in assessment
3. Observations carried out by both Primary and Independent Assessors.
4. Use of mentor in the workplace to provide further support to candidates.
5. Trainee Assessor policy for centre’s other awards commits the candidate to effective assessment practice in line with A1 standards and includes 8 hours of candidate assessment observation by A1 assessor.
6. CPD as a planned activity not merely recorded.
Albion is delighted that SQA continue to recognise the high standard we operate to with the training and assessment centre.
If you have any queries regarding the assessment awards please do not hesitate to contact Alasdair Meldrum.
