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.

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.
Appealing against Formal Assessments
If you are dissatisfied with an assessment grade you receive for a piece of work that will contribute to your final award, you have the right to appeal. 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
presented. Hopefully, the appeal will be resolved at this stage with the grade remaining or being amended.
Should you still be unhappy, you have the right to move the appeal to the next stage where another member of staff will review your case, checking the reasons and evidence objectively.
Should this still not reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion, an Appeals Panel will be convened to hear the appeal. You will be part of the panel and may be accompanied by a friend. The decision of the panel will be final.
Copies of the full Appeals Procedure are available from your course manager and Division office.
Complaints procedure We have a complaints procedure that asks you to begin by talking to your personal tutor or course manager about any difficulties. If this informal approach does not sort out the problem, we ask you to put things in writing (you can ask for help with this) using the complaints form available from Reception. However, in all cases, please talk to someone as soon as possible, as things can often be sorted out in the early stages before you and your studies are upset.
We hope to avoid the need for complaints by having a set of College rules that are there to ensure that everyone gets the same chance to learn and succeed. There is also a system of appeals, so that if you feel that the College has not treated you fairly, you can put your view. Between the Rules and the Complaints Procedures we hope to keep things flowing smoothly with a fair deal for all students and staff.
