5 Introduction and Course Description To ensure that employees within organisations work in accordance with their operational standards and are meeting company s expectations, assessors confirm candidates competence to ensure they are ready to progress. Internal verifiers are required to authenticate their organisation s assessors judgements so that expectations and results are standardised across a company. Verification is a quality assurance role; essential so that all those involved in assessment carry out assessment consistently. Exclusion Notes: 1. Achievement of this qualification does not entitle the holder to award any certificate bearing OPITO s logo and name. OPITO-approved certificates can only be granted by an OPITO approved provider. 2. The holder of the OPITO Internal Verifier certificate may not be recognised to verify qualifications issued by other organisations e.g. National or Scottish Vocational Qualifications in the UK. Delegates should clarify with the relevant organisation prior to conducting verification. Associated Standard OPITO has also developed a Competence Assessor Training Standard. Revision 2 (February 2017) Page 5 of 26

6 SECTION A Internal Verifier Training Programme A.1 Target Group The internal verifier standard has been developed for individuals within an organisation who are designated to be internal verifiers. A.2 Delegate Pre-requisites There are no formal delegate pre-requisites for attendance on the Internal Verifier Training Programme; although delegates must provide evidence that they have access to a minimum of two assessors undertaking an assessment process to verify in their workplace. Note: For the purpose of this standard: Delegates are the people attending this internal verifier training programme. Assessors are those whose judgements will be verified by the internal verifier. Candidates are the individuals whose performance will be assessed in the workplace. Revision 2 (February 2017) Page 6 of 26

10 A.6 Delegate Performance Assessment Delegates attending this Internal Verifier training programme will be given a series of explanations and demonstrations that will identify what they are expected to know and do. This will be followed by practical exercises allowing delegates to practice their skills, knowledge and understanding of the internal verifier role. Delegates will also complete an open book written test (in an invigilated environment) testing the underpinning knowledge of the theory learning outcomes of this OPITO-approved Internal Verifier standard. Guidance on Test Contents The test questions will be set against the stated learning outcomes in Section A.5. The maximum duration of the test is 60 minutes and must be in the form of a knowledge test covering Learning Outcomes A Training Provider attendance certificate must be issued at the end of training for delegates prior to the completion of the Workplace Evidence. Please note that the OPITO Logo must not be included in this attendance certificate. The OPITO Logo must only be included in the final certificate issued to the candidate once all the workplace evidence requirements have been completed. The issue of an OPITO Internal Verifier Certificate will only be issued to the delegate after the OPITOapproved Centre has assessed the delegate s work place evidence and deemed it as meeting the required standard. Please refer to Section B for workplace evidence requirements. A.7 Duration of the Training Programme The optimum 'contact time' for this training and assessment programme is 7 hours. It is suggested that a ratio of 60% to 40% theory to practical is appropriate. The total contact time per training day shall not exceed 8 hours. The total training day shall not exceed 10 hours (the total training day includes contact time, coffee and meal breaks, and travel time between training sites where applicable).

16 SECTION B Workplace Evidence Requirements The following assessment evidence, generated in the workplace, is to be provided by the delegate or their organisation s representative to the training provider as soon as possible but within twelve months of completion of the OPITO Internal Verifier Training course. Workplace evidence submitted must be sufficient to meet all the Evidence Requirements. This evidence will be assessed by the training provider prior to issuing an OPITO certificate. Should the OPITO Internal Verifier certification not be achieved within twelve months, delegates are to re-take assessments as detailed in Section A.6. Assessments are carried out by OPITO-approved training providers. Evidence Requirements: In order to complete this training programme delegates must submit, as a minimum, the verificationrelated documentation listed below to the OPITO-approved Training Provider within a twelve month period. Two assessors must be verified in the workplace and the same two assessors must be used throughout the verification process: a) A minimum of one IV sampling plan, which includes a minimum of two assessment decisions made by two assessors b) IV report(s) that include the results of internal verifications, covering both assessors and two of their assessment decisions plus copies of the assessment records used in reaching each IV decision c) Evidence that documented feedback has been provided to both assessors and has been signed by both assessors d) Evidence of a minimum of one standardisation activity carried out by the delegate On receipt of the above documentation, the training provider will: 1. Make a judgement for each delegate of "Competent", or "Not Yet Competent" based on the verification evidence (i.e. points a) d) above). This decision must be fed back to the delegate and internal verifier for further action, if required. 2. Where the judgement is "Competent", the training provider will inform the delegate and will issue a certificate. The delegate must retain all training material and assessment verification records resulting from the course. The training provider must keep a copy of the completed assessment evidence i.e. completed test paper, evidence required from the workplace plus course evaluation forms, for OPITO audit purposes. 3. Where the judgement is "Not Yet Competent", the training provider should make every effort, via feedback to the delegate and their organisation s representative, where applicable, to assist the delegate to become Competent (then revert to Point 2 above).

25 Appendix 2 Feedback Scenarios Examples Feedback scenarios, based on characteristics similar to the examples below, are to be devised by the training provider. Example #1 Assessor: a) Opinionated, sure of his/her, has been assessing for a long time b) Makes no effort to put the candidate at ease and asks brusque, sharp questions c) Sometimes gets in the way during the assessment d) Decided the candidate was Not Yet Competent because of his/her nervousness Internal Verifier: e) Has just become the internal verifier for this assessor f) Believes the candidate was put under too much pressure and didn t get a fair assessment g) Has documentation from other assessors that shows the candidate has been deemed Competent on a previous occasion for a similar task Challenge: How does the internal verifier present comments on the assessor s technique that ensures that future assessments are handled more compassionately? Is a standardisation meeting required to see why two opposite decisions on the same candidate have been made? Example #2 Assessor: a) New to assessment and very enthusiastic b) Asked a great deal of detailed, theoretical questions c) Took a lot of notes and a long time to assess the candidate d) Resultant report was long winded, the candidate was deemed competent, but the assessor didn t provide relevant evidence to back up the detailed observation Internal Verifier: e) Appreciates the assessor s energy, but worries that he/she is over-assessing candidates f) If it continues in this way it will take a long time to complete the assessment Challenge: How does the internal verifier explain the need for boundaries in assessment? How does the verifier show that he/she appreciates the new assessor s commitment, but that appropriate technique and record keeping are required as well? Revision 2 (February 2017) Page 25 of 26
