A1 KNOWLEDGE SPECIFICATION
1. I would try and see more than 1 candidate at a time either in the same area or the same setting, I would try and collect as much evidence as possible for the unit we are covering and also be doing Holistic Observation which would enable me to cross reference with other units. All of the above would cut down on travelling time and expenses and would enable me to be more efficient in my role as an Assessor.

I would advise the candidate to check with their manager and colleagues that the assessment time is suitable for everyone. I would make sure that the candidate knows what is expected of them during the observation and also what else they may be required to do. I would make sure they are aware and understand each step of the assessment process.
4. I would discuss with the candidate how we could gain more evidence, this could mean doing a further observation, a work product, setting up a task or simulation, I would always be positive when giving feedback and make sure that they understand that we can obtain the extra evidence we need through a variety of ways and that I am here to help and support them. I would go through the Performance Criteria and the Knowledge with them and help and support them through the next stage.
