Assessment
Candidates must demonstrate the level of knowledge described in the unit. Assessment is
the process of measuring a candidate’s knowledge and understanding against the standards
set in the qualification.
Each candidate is required to produce evidence which demonstrates their achievement of
all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each unit.
Evidence can include: – assignments/projects/reports
– worksheets
– portfolio of evidence
– record of oral and/or written questioning
– candidate test papers
Learning outcomes set out what a candidate is expected to know, understand or be able to
do.
Assessment criteria specify the standard a candidate must meet to show the learning
outcome has been achieved.
Learning outcomes and assessment criteria for this qualification can be found from page 8
onwards.
Internal Quality Assurance
An internal quality assurance verifier confirms that assessment decisions made in centres
are made by competent and qualified assessors, that they are the result of sound and fair
assessment practice and that they are recorded accurately and appropriately.

Adjustments to standard assessment arrangements are made on the individual needs of
candidates. ProQual’s Reasonable Adjustments Policy and Special Consideration Policy sets
out the steps to follow when implementing reasonable adjustments and special
considerations and the service that ProQual provides for some of these arrangements.
Centres should contact ProQual for further information or queries about the contents of the
