The NVQ Assessor, Verifier and Candidate Handbook: A Practical Guide to Units A1, A2 and V1, and STTTLSS Domain E

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are vocational awards in England and Wales that are achieved through assessment and training. To guarantee the credibility and value of an NVQ -- irrespective of subject matter -- it is critical that standards are maintained to ensure consistency nationwide. The assessor needs to ensure that all papers are marked in the same way, the verifier needs to ensure that the same standards are maintained across all assessors, and the candidates need to know what is expected of them. This handbook satisfies all those needs. For the assessor, it shows the standards expected to ensure objectivity and consistency when assessing and marking work. For the verifier, it gives a template for delivering absolute consistency across assessors. For the candidate, it shows what is expected from the assessor in terms of presentation of work, recording of documents, and the correct submission of materials.
