Hi the question is "how to identify changes in levels of candidates’ competence and assess how this affects your own competence?" I'm stuck on it too

Martin

I guess this is open to interpretation. My own take on this is that it is about assessing different levels of ability. For example when you first meet your candidate you might carry out a skills scan to see what level they are working at.

In terms of your own competence, this needs to be at least at the level of the candidates qualification.

Does this make sense?

Hi Tom

yes very helpful thank you.

My assessor also made the point that our own competence will build through our encounters with candidates. Perhaps if one opts for an optional unit you have not assessed previously for example. Also just through observing different working styles etc.

thanks for your help

Regards

Martin

Agreed - there is a continuing process of development going on here. Standardisation meetings with other assessors can be a great help as well.
