COURSE OUTLINE

The Course duration and content will be agreed between the client and Delton, based on the desired outcomes required of the client and the background, previous experience and needs of the attendees.

The course is delivered in workshop format with group discussion, attendee interaction, case studies and individual work.

Following the initial classroom delivery of the theory, the attendees will take part in simulated assessment exercises and case studies, similar to those that they will eventually encounter back in their workplace.

In order to gain the qualification, the assessors will be required to show evidence that they have assessed a minimum of two candidates, each on two separate tasks (four assessments in total), using in-company approved Standards or those provided by an Awarding/Standard setting Body, such as the UK SQA, City & Guilds (CGLI) or other Internationally approved Standards Body.

The attendees performance will be assessed by the Course Tutor, who will act as their Assessor.

Subsequent planning and conducting of assessments (achieving the required total of four assessments), will be the responsibility of the trainee assessor attendees, supported by Delton on a remote basis, via their portfolio.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This qualification is suitable for those who already assess, or who will assess the Competence of personnel in the workplace, using a wide range of assessment methods, both direct and Indirect, within a formal Competency based Management System (CMS).
