Verifier Learning Programmes

Assessment can be just part of the competence jigsaw, with verification another important piece.

Internal verifiers have a significant role in ensuring assessments are being carried out in accordance with Competence Management System requirements. As with our assessment training packages, our courses for verifiers have both OPITO and SQA accreditation to guarantee the quality of the content and delivery.

OPITO Internal Verifier

This internal verifier award is designed to be utilised by any organisation where verification of competence assessments is required as part of a competence management system.

SQA Internal Verifier Award

The Internal Verifier award is a unit of accreditation which recognises competence for those who have responsibilities for quality assuring workplace assessment. It can be acquired by those who are quality assuring assessment of in-house competencies and also those businesses that provide their workforce with opportunities of training and assessment to obtain vocational qualifications.

All candidates are required to be qualified and practicing workplace competence assessors.

Each applicant must have access in the workplace to two qualified assessors for the purpose of their verification activities while working towards the award. Their qualifications will be authenticated prior to commencement on the course.
