Assessor Guide
LessMore info DownloadThis document provides assessment guidance to Assessors and Internal Quality Assurers.
Internal assessments will go ahead in 2021/22, therefore moving away from results being based on Teacher Assessed Grades (TAGs) used in 2020 to 2021, where this has been permitted. Students need to prepare a portfolio of evidence. We encourage centres to review our guidance on the types of evidence, and evidence capture, that we permit including e.g. the use of video, photos and other digital means of demonstrating knowledge and skills.
Students are still required to complete the mandatory workbooks. These mandatory workbooks can be completed remotely and are available as electronic, editable documents and will ensure that all of the assessment criteria are met.
If centres have difficulties in accessing these mandatory workbooks, you should contact our Customer Support team on [email protected] / 0191 239 8000.
