Internal/ external Verification Policy The Internal Verifier will verify all the units. Once an assessor has marked an assignment it is passed to the internal verifier for verification. The external verification/moderation will take place during the academic year for sampling of work. Exam board CACHE exam board Collecting Information Details of all assignments are given in on the assignment brief. Your course tutor study will provide any additional information required. It is the student’s responsibility to find the information necessary to complete each assignment, but your course tutor will give help where appropriate or requested. Please ask for help if there is anything in the assignment (or elsewhere on the course), that you do not understand. What will I have to buy? • Course text book • Lever arch file • dividers • pens • Pencil • ruler • plastic wallets • USB What is expected of me? • Follow the college rules • Maintain a high attendance, punctuality percentage. • It is also essential that you devote a significant number of hours to your studies outside of college. If you are aiming at passing all your assignments and you all should be, it is not enough to simply turn up for lessons. You need to set aside a number of hours each week either at home or in the campus when you work on unit assignments. Who will be helping me to learn? Your subject tutor will deliver the course content. You will also have a personal tutor who will help you organise and plan your study in relation to unit assessment hand in dates; these will be recorded within an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and updated throughout the year.

A document has been produced that explains in full how it will be dealt with. In brief, you will appeal initially to the person who assessed the work with reasons within 5 college working days of the work being returned. At this stage the assessor will deal with the appeal personally, looking at the work again and the reasons
