Hi Littlebird

No probs - just send me your e-mail and I will send them! I have been told to write all my knowledge and then myself and my assessor will have 3 discussions at the end to go over all the knowledge and then have 2 discussions to discuss the different types of assessment techniques that i used with my 2 chosen learners, what worked, what didn't, what i could have done instead etc!! I have 40 knowledge questions to answer!

Hi Babe



Thank you so much.
I have answered most of mine now, but just not sure if im on the right track. I keep talking to different people and they say different things which makes me more confused.

Hi i have just begun my a1 assessors course and i was wondering if anyone could help with the following questions,
c. ensure that the evidence comes from the candidates own work
d. make safe fair valid and reliable decisions about the competence of candidates only on the agreed standard.
Any help would be greatly received
