Guidance on assessment This book contains the mandatory units that make up this qualification. Optional units will be provided in additional booklets. Where indicated, VTCT will provide assessment materials. Assessments may be internal or external. The method of assessment is indicated in each unit. Internal assessment (any requirements will be shown in the unit) Assessment is set, marked and internally quality assured by the centre to clearly demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes. Assessment is sampled by VTCT external quality assurers. External assessment (any requirements will be shown in the unit) Externally assessed question papers completed electronically will be set and marked by VTCT. Externally assessed hard-copy question papers will be set by VTCT, marked by centre staff and sampled by VTCT external quality assurers. Assessment explained VTCT qualifications are assessed and quality assured by centre staff. Work will be set to improve your practical skills, knowledge and understanding. For practical elements, you will be observed by your assessor. All your work must be collected in a portfolio of evidence and cross-referenced to requirements listed in this record of assessment book. Your centre will have an internal quality assurer whose role is to check that your assessment and evidence is valid and reliable and meets VTCT and regulatory requirements. An external quality assurer, appointed by VTCT, will visit your centre to sample and quality-check assessments, the internal quality assurance process and the evidence gathered. You may be asked to attend on a different day from usual if requested by the external quality assurer. This record of assessment book is your property and must be in your possession when you are being assessed or quality assured. It must be kept safe. In some cases your centre will be required to keep it in a secure place. You and your course assessor will together complete this book to show achievement of all learning outcomes, assessment criteria and ranges. 5

Creating a portfolio of evidence As part of this qualification you are required to produce a portfolio of evidence. A portfolio will confirm the knowledge, understanding and skills that have been learned. It may be in electronic or paper format. Your assessor will provide guidance on how to prepare the portfolio of evidence and how to show practical achievement, and understanding of the knowledge required to successfully complete the qualification. It is this booklet along with the portfolio of evidence that will serve as the prime source of evidence for this qualification. Evidence in the portfolio may take the following forms: Observed work Witness statements Audio-visual media Evidence of prior learning or attainment Written questions Oral questions Assignments Case studies All evidence should be documented in the portfolio and cross referenced to the outcomes. Constructing the portfolio of evidence should not be left to the end of the course. 6

Unit glossary Description VTCT product code Unit title National Occupational Standards (NOS) Level Credit value Guiding Learning hours (GLH) Total qualification time (TQT) Observations Learning outcomes Evidence requirements Maximum service times Observation outcome Knowledge outcome Assessment criteria Range All units are allocated a unique VTCT product code for identification purposes. This code should be quoted in all queries and correspondence to VTCT. The title clearly indicates the focus of the unit. NOS describe the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to undertake a particular task or job to a nationally recognised level of competence. Level is an indication of the demand of the learning experience; the depth and/or complexity of achievement and independence in achieving the learning outcomes. This is the number of credits awarded upon successful achievement of all unit outcomes. Credit is a numerical value that represents a means of recognising, measuring, valuing and comparing achievement. The activity of a learner in being taught or instructed by - or otherwise participating in education or training under the immediate guidance or supervision of - a lecturer, supervisor, tutor or other appropriate provider of education or training. The number of hours an awarding organisation has assigned to a qualification for Guided Learning and an estimate of the number of hours a learner will reasonably be likely to spend in preparation, study, or any other form of participation in education or training. This includes assessment, which takes place as directed - but, unilke Guided Learning, not under the immediate guidance or supervision of - a lecturer, supervisor, tutor or other appropriate provider of education or training. This indicates the minimum number of observations required to achieve the unit. The learning outcomes are the most important component of the unit; they set out what is expected in terms of knowing, understanding and practical ability as a result of the learning process. Learning outcomes are the results of learning. This section provides guidelines on how evidence must be gathered. The maximum time specified by Habia in which a particular service or practical element must be completed. An observation outcome details the practical tasks that must be completed to achieve the unit. A knowledge outcome details the theoretical requirements of a unit that must be evidenced through oral questioning, a mandatory written question paper or portfolio of evidence. Assessment criteria set out what is required, in terms of achievement, to meet a learning outcome. The assessment criteria and learning outcomes are the components that inform the learning and assessment that should take place. Assessment criteria define the standard expected to meet learning outcomes. The range indicates what must be covered. Ranges must be practically demonstrated in parallel to the unit s observation outcomes. 8
