Each assignment will contain a variety of practical tasks and essay-type questions. These assignments are assessed by your tutor to monitor progress. You will be provided with constructive feedback to help you complete each unit to the required standard.

Part of your course will require direct observation by a qualified assessor in your placement setting.

Your expert witness must be suitably qualified to do so, as below:

Have a working knowledge of the units for which they are providing expert testimony and hold one of the qualifications below:

• Be a qualified teacher with QTS status.
• Be a qualified assessor and hold an A1/D32 or CAVA qualification.
• Be qualified for a minimum of NVQ/Diploma LV3 in Early Years/Childcare.

Evidence or proof of the EW qualifications will be required as part of the enrolment process.

The use of an expert witness (EW) will be determined and agreed upon by the college assessor, and final assessment decisions must be made by the qualified assessor here at UK Open College.

If your setting will allow and you prefer an assessor from the college to visit your setting instead, then this can be arranged at an additional cost. Please contact us for a quote if required.
