5. Assessment
This qualification requires achievement of the specified units with no further requirements for additional/summative assessment. Achievement is therefore determined by successful completion of unit assessment. The assessment process is as follows:
Assessments are internally set and approved at the centre by assessors, against the requirements detailed in the assessment criteria of the unit.
The learners are assessed internally at the centre, using the assessments set.
The resulting portfolios of assessed evidence are internally quality assured by an Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) at the centre.
The portfolios of assessed evidence are quality assured either by an Open College Network West Midlands Quality Adviser (QA) or, for centres with Direct Claims Status, an Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) approved by Open College Network West Midlands.

Assessment methods
When delivering Open College Network West Midlands units and qualifications, centres may choose from a range of assessment methods. It is important that the most effective and appropriate methods are selected. We therefore strongly advise that all those involved in assessment and internal quality assurance of this qualification refer to the Open College Network West Midlands Centre Handbook and our Assessment Methods publication. These provide guidance on the range of assessment methods available and the types of evidence appropriate for each. These publications are available on our website www.opencollnet.org.uk.
It is important when devising assessments to differentiate between the assessment method (what the learner is asked to do) and the evidence (what the learner produces).
When designing any assessment method, tutors or assessors will need to consider the presentation of the assessment task to the learner to make it fair and accessible. Tutors or assessors may also need to consider arrangements for learners with particular learning difficulties and will need to be aware of Open College Network West Midlands’ policy on reasonable adjustments.
All proposed assessment tasks must be checked and confirmed as appropriate, fair, valid and reliable by an appropriately qualified and experienced Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) before being issued to learners.

Standardisation
Standardisation is a process that promotes consistency in the understanding and application of standards.
Standardisation:
establishes statements on the standard of evidence required to meet the assessment criteria for the units in Open College Network West Midlands qualifications;
makes recommendations on assessment practice;
produces advice and guidance for the assessment of units;
identifies good practice in assessment.
It is a requirement of the centre recognition process that each centre offering units from Open College Network West Midlands qualifications must contribute assessment materials and learners’ evidence for standardisation if requested.
Open College Network West Midlands will notify centres of the required sample for standardisation purposes. Assessment materials, learners’ evidence and tutor feedback will be sent to Open College Network West Midlands by centres.
Outcomes from standardisation will be available to centres through Open College Network West Midlands.
Support for centres
Open College Network West Midlands provide all of our centres with on-going support and advice on the use of Open College Network West Midlands units and qualifications, including the requirements for assessment.
If centres approved to offer Open College Network West Midlands units and qualifications have obtained a UKPRN (UK Provider Reference Number) from the UKRLP (UK Register of Learning Providers), this will be used as the centre reference number. If a centre has not obtained a UKPRN they will be issued with a unique Open College Network West Midlands centre number.
Information about obtaining a Unique Learner Number (ULN) on behalf of the learners is included in the Open College Network West Midlands Centre Handbook.
