This PDA is for assessors of non-workplace standards, eg HNs or qualifications assessed during training courses or as part of off-the-job training.

The PDA has been developed to align to the current National Occupational Standard (NOS) in assessment, L&D9 'Assess Learner Achievement' and omitting the requirement for the assessor-candidate to assess in the learner's workplace. Therefore, providing a benchmark standard for those who assess from a wide variety of different, non workplace settings. For example, teachers or lecturers involved in the delivery of Skills for Work (SfW) courses or National Progression Awards (NPAs); training providers and Further Education (FE) centres offering Higher National (HN) qualifications and PDAs.

This new PDA replaces (G9DA 47) - Carry Out the Assessment Process

This PDA is not for those who are assessing SVQs or other qualifications that are assessed in the workplace (who should undertake the Units L&D9D or L&D9DI).
