The CVs of assessors and tutors are checked during all approval reviews, including for T Levels. Each qualification specification states whether a formal assessor qualification is required. Where this is not mandatory, it’s good practice for a member of staff to be working towards one. CVs must also show occupational competence in the relevant sector.   

See our Portal User Guide for step-by-step instructions.
