Course Overview
The broad purpose of this occupation is to assess candidates against agreed
standards of competence using a range of assessment methods. The learning
and skills assessor will plan, conduct assessment activities and record and
report on assessment decisions to the learner and other relevant stakeholders.
They will support the progression of the learner through feedback of assessment
decisions, setting of ongoing realistic learning goals and referral to other
professionals if required. They will contribute to the quality cycle of the
organisation and actively contribute to standardisation and moderation of
assessment decisions. The learning and skills assessor will be committed to
their own continual professional development to maintain occupational competency
in their sector. They will typically work in an environment in their
organisation where they are assessing competency. They will work in a variety of
locations and environments including practical vocational settings where
activity may be undertaken face to face or remotely.

assessor and through development feedback following observation of performance.
