The Internal Verifier
The role of the Internal Verifier is to monitor the work of all assessors involved with a particular qualification, ensuring accuracy and consistency of activities and decisions. The internal verifier:
- Ensures that assessors follow the qualification assessment guidance provided by City & Guilds.
- Sample and observe activities, methods and records to ensure that assessment decisions are consistent and then provide assessors with constructive feedback on their decisions.
- Keeps up to date records of internal verification and sampling activities and ensure that these are available for City & Guilds to see.
- Raises issues of good practice in assessment and organise regular meetings between all staff involved in the process.
- Ensures that any corrective actions required by the City & Guilds’ external verifier are put into place
If you have a large number of assessors or different qualifications, you may need more than one Internal Verifier.
