Validation · a Quality Agency service
Independent validation of assessment judgements and of the tools themselves, with the evidence trail a panel can follow.
Independent validation of assessment judgements and of the tools themselves, with the evidence trail a panel can follow. We work with the organisation you actually are, not the one the policy manual describes, because the gap between those two is usually where the problem lives.
Whether the instrument can actually collect the evidence the unit requires, before any learner sits it.
A sample of completed assessments reviewed against the rules of evidence, with the reasoning recorded.
Validators with the vocational competency and currency the standards require, from outside your organisation.
Neither of these is exotic. Both are common enough that it is worth checking your own arrangements against them before anyone else does.
A panel made entirely of the people who wrote and marked the assessments is not independent, and is read that way at audit.
A signed cover sheet saying validation occurred, with nothing showing what was examined or concluded, evidences a meeting rather than a validation.
Tell us what has happened, or what you think is about to. Either is a reasonable place to start.
