Overview

As you may be aware, this qualification was due to expire on 31 May 2008. However, I am pleased to inform you that this date has now been extended for a further year to the following dates:

This qualification is intended for those who assess NVQ candidates using observation and questioning only. The candidate will be carrying out the following tasks:

  • Agreeing and reviewing plans for assessing NVQ candidates' performance
  • Assessing candidates' performance against the agreed standards
  • Assessing candidates' knowledge against the agree standards
  • Making assessment decisions and providing feedback

To achieve the full award, candidates must achieve unit A2 from the Learning and Development national occupational standards 'Assessing candidates' performance through observation'.

Like all NVQ unit-based awards, this qualification is competence-based. This means that it is linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role.

OCR offers a range of unit-based awards that reflect discrete roles in the delivery, assessment and verification process. OCR also offers NVQs in Learning and Development that develop and recognise the competency of staff working at all levels within this sector.
