• the number of candidates they each have
• the qualifications and awards that are being delivered
• the experience and competence of the assessor
• planning to sample a range of evidence and a number of units
• planning sampling to be consistent for the duration of the qualification

This could be for a number of reasons; a new qualification, an unqualified assessor, a unit that may have presented a challenge in gathering evidence, a learner or assessor experiencing difficulties. This information is the rationale behind the frequency of interim sampling and level of support which I may need to provide to assessors.

I ensure that I use this as a guide only, so as not to over look any areas of concern, and I remain flexible to meet the needs of the assessors and candidates.
In order to provide adequate support for the assessors I ensure I maintain regular communication first and foremost. I speak to them at least weekly for an informal chat about how they are getting on with their learners. If there should...
