4. Assessment brief - read this and check that it gives candidates an overview of:
 The tasks involved in the assessment e.g. 10 written questions and 2 observations. Observations will
be done by the assessor/supervisor.
 The Outcomes and E.Rs related to each assessment task are recorded, current and correct.
5. The assessment tasks - check that there are tasks to assess:
 The E.Rs, range and hence outcomes
 Are worded clearly and correctly
6. Judgement and evidence statements/model answers - check these are:
 On hand
 Current- i.e. Outcomes, E.R.s, judgement statements, evidence statements, read model answers and
highlight key points to be looked for in candidates' assessments.
7. Marking of the assessment - check:
 The assessor has ticked/crossed each answer or parts of answers, not sections or large chunks of
work. Marking is clear.
 The assessor has used the judgement/evidence statements/model answers when marking to ensure
they have marked in a fair, consistent and valid manner.
 Moderator agrees with the assessor’s decision of “Achieved” or “Not Achieved”
 Go back to the Assessment Record and check the outcome has been recorded correctly
8. Re-sits - check these have been recorded in a different coloured pen:
 Clearly indicated e.g. a cross, by the assessor
 Resubmit sheet has been used correctly
 The revisit by the candidate has been recorded on the resubmit sheet
 Resubmit is marked, signed and dated by the Assessor
 Assessment Record sheet shows that there was a re-sit and is dated by the associated E.R. and is
then changed to “A” and dated.
 Assessment Record shows “Not Achieved”, which is then crossed out neatly, and “Achieved” circled,
initialled and dated by the assessor.
