As an assessor, there will be certain responsibilities that we have to abide by. Before commencing any assessment the end result of the learning outcome has to be laid out so those delivering and the students undertaking the training know what they must achieve and why. Once we have set our targets we can then plan our assessment.
We can then carry out the assessment in the way we have planned and as the lesson plan follows, offering constructive feedback if required to assist continuous improvement of both student and trainer.

These results should be recorded again and stored in a matrix so that all issues can be flagged up.
