For trainers and assessors

Everything the person at the front of the room actually needs

Practical support for trainers and assessors: currency, professional development, assessment practice and the parts of compliance that land on the trainer rather than the manager.

IWhat we do

Three things, done properly.

i

Currency

Keeping vocational competency current, and evidencing it in a way that survives being checked.

ii

Assessment practice

Making judgements that hold, and recording the reasoning behind them.

iii

Professional development

PD that changes practice rather than producing an attendance certificate.

IIWhat goes wrong

The two failures we see most.

We publish these because most of the value in hiring anyone is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.

Assessing the reading level

An assessment written well above the language demand of the unit measures comprehension and reports it as vocational incompetence.

Marking to the answer sheet

Benchmark answers are a guide. Treating them as the only acceptable response fails competent learners who expressed it differently.

IIIHow we work

We tell you what we find.

Including when the answer is that you do not need what you came to ask for. Anyone who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.

Scope

Where something needs a legal opinion, a financial audit or a clinical judgement, we will say so and stop rather than improvise past the edge of what we do.

Start a conversation.

Tell us the situation rather than the service you think you need. We would rather start from your problem.
