Internal Verification

Internal Verification Observation Form

It is a requirement of some of the assessments that a 10% sample should be observed by an internal verifier. This document may be used to record the observation. If the centre has its own observation record sheet, this may be used as long as it records the information required by the NOCN form as a minimum.

Approved Lead Assessor Information

The Approved Lead Assessor (ALA) will take on the internal Verification role within a centre. The centre should complete the Approved Lead Assessor Nomination Form which may be completed at either the Centre Recognition stage or at any External Verifier visit.

The approved Lead Assessor must:

have a teaching qualification
have 2 years experience of Key Skills, FS, literacy or numeracy.
attend a FS CPD session through NOCN or the regional OCN
show good practice in internal verification/assessment of FS

Following two clear External Verification visits the ALA may sign off the Recommendation of Award of Credit forms, thus allowing Direct Claims Status.

ALA Nomination Form

Centre Guidance for completing the ALA Nomination Form

A number of new internal verification forms have been produced which centres may use if they do not have their own versions.

The Functional Skills Planning IV Sheet may be used to plan across a number of assessors which assessments will be sampled.

The Functional Skills IV Tracking Sheet may be used to track which assessments have been sampled from one assessor.

The IV Feedback to Assessor Sheet may be used to give more detailed feedback to an assessor.
