The assessment process

Apprenticeships and S/NVQs are not exam based qualifications.

Your training and assessment will be carried out on site at your Company. All the Assessment is based on the collection of evidence from work related tasks or projects. S/NVQs comprise of a number of units which are related to particular aspects of the job you are doing.

You will be allocated a Personal Assessor who will visit you in the workplace and assess evidence of your competence in your job.

The evidence required can take different forms:

• Observations by your Assessor
• A discussion about work related tasks
• A witness testimony from your supervisor
• Documents you may have worked on
• Previously awarded qualifications relevant to your specific S/NVQ

During the Assessment Process comprehensive support is available throughout including regular assessor visits and contact via email, telephone and the internet.
