Assessment
This qualification is competence-based, candidates must demonstrate the level of
competence described in the units. Assessment is the process of measuring a candidate’s
skill, knowledge and understanding against the standards set in the qualification. The
qualification must be assessed in line with the Construction Skills Consolidated Assessment
Strategy and must be internally assessed by an appropriately experienced and qualified
assessor.
Each candidate is required to produce a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates their
achievement of all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each unit.
Evidence can include: – observation report by assessor
– assignments/projects/reports
– professional discussion
– witness testimony
– candidate product
– worksheets
– record of oral and written questioning
– Recognition of Prior Learning
Learning outcomes set out what a candidate is expected to know, understand or be able to
- Assessment criteria specify the standard a candidate must meet to show the learning
outcome has been achieved.
Learning outcomes and assessment criteria can be found from page 8.
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 Assessment
Adjustments to standard assessment arrangements are made on the individual needs of
candidates. ProQual’s Reasonable Adjustments Policy and Special Consideration Policy sets
