Guide to Assessment - A : Introduction

This section of the site gives guidance on the assessment process.    It includes the online version of the Guide to Assessment, copies of the forms needed for assessment, and guidance for Specialist Assessors; (see the links in the right-hand column).

Introduction

Assessment takes snapshots of a provision from various angles, and builds them into a coherent picture.    This is then presented to Council, who meet towards the end of each quarter. The main components are:

• Questionnaires to learners and tutors
• References from third parties
• Course assessment by specialists
• Overall assessment of the provision, based on a self-assessment undertaken by the provider
• Samples of materials (advertising and administrative)
• Visit by the reporting assessor
• Review by the Council.

This process usually takes between two and six months to complete.
