1. Work-Based, Competency-Focused Learning Experience

• Our assessment strategy follows the Skills for Care and Development Assessment Principles, emphasising practical competence through:

• Direct Observation - Your assessor observes you carrying out tasks in your real work environment

• Naturally Occurring Evidence - Build a portfolio from your day-to-day work activities

• Regular Formative Feedback - Receive ongoing guidance from qualified assessors

• Expert Witness Testimony - Contributions from colleagues and those who use services enrich your evidence
   

2. Diverse Assessment Methods

• Portfolio of Evidence - Compile observation records, work products, reflective accounts, and witness testimonies

• Assessment Activity Modules - Complete internally marked assessments testing your knowledge and understanding

• Professional Discussions - Engage with assessors to demonstrate your knowledge and its application in practice

• Reflective Practice - Evaluate your own performance and identify areas for continuous improvement
   

3. Quality Assurance

All assessments are subject to rigorous internal and external quality assurance to ensure consistency and fairness. Your assessor and Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) will support you throughout, while an External Quality Assurer (EQA) from BIIAB verifies the quality of decisions.
