Prior to Course Delivery

• Ensure Trainer/Learner ratios for arranged e-Assessment sessions will not exceed a ratio of 1:8
• All policies and course documents will be shared with Learners (e.g. Training Commitment, Learner Agreement, Plagiarism Policy, Appeals and Complaints procedures, etc.)
• All Learners will be informed, in advance, of the intention to deliver any element of training remotely (e.g. through Skype, Zoom or similar) and/or that assessments will be taken online using Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment and a clear explanation as to how this remote delivery/online assessment will be facilitated and carried out will be provided
• All Learners will be made aware that they will be recorded through the remote means employed for the purposes of obtaining assessment evidence and/or internal/external quality assurance activity
• All Learners will have all necessary equipment required for the purposes of training delivery and/or undertaking assessment in place prior to the start date of the course (please refer to the Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment Information for Learners)
• All Learner needs are assessed prior to course delivery to ensure that the remote means employed do not disadvantage any Learner and do not create an adverse effect (please refer to the QA Malpractice and Maladministration Policy for definitions)
• A Reasonable Adjustment Form is submitted for any Learner that meets the definition of disability and who requires any adjustment to course delivery or Learner assessment in advance of the course start date
• All Trainers/Assessors and IQAs are fully aware of what elements of training and/or Learner assessment will be taking place remotely for the course and how this should be carried out in line with all applicable requirements
• All necessary equipment is available to facilitate remote connectivity on site and at the Learner’s location and that any cameras are set up appropriately in the classroom environment to enable Learners to fully view all aspects of training delivery
• For remote learning with Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment, all Learners will activate their Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment account before the day of the assessment

Training Delivery and Learner Assessment

• Ensure Learners are content that any agreed Reasonable Adjustments have been made appropriately and in are in place prior to training delivery and/or assessment taking place
• All Trainers/Assessors present accepted forms of identification clearly to the camera at the start of the course to verify their identity to Learners and External Quality Assurers
• Where e-Learning has taken place, Centres must ensure that Learners have completed all required e-Learning modules prior to undertaking assessment
• All Learners present accepted forms of photographic identification clearly to the camera prior to assessment being undertaken and are made aware that further checks may be made to ensure the identification presented is genuine
• Trainers/Assessors and Internal Quality Assurers take all necessary steps to ensure the security of all assessment materials and the Learner assessment process at all times. This includes taking all necessary steps to minimise the possibility of Learner malpractice occurring in the form of plagiarism, cheating or collusion
• All Learners are aware that any suspected malpractice may mean that reassessment is necessary and any confirmed malpractice may lead to removal from the course and/or Learner sanctions being imposed by QA (please see the QA Sanctions Policy for further details)
• Learner assessments that are carried out remotely are recorded and these recordings are stored appropriately in line with the requirements of the Data Management Contract. I agree and I am fully aware that these recordings may be used for both internal and external quality assurance purposes (including possible review by the qualification regulators). Failure to record the e-Assessment will result in Learners having to retake the assessment
• Recordings of live assessment will be made available to QA and stored in line with QA requirements
• As per the Qualsafe at Home Qualifications Incorporating Learner e-Assessment – Requirements for Direct Claims Status (DCS)¸ video recordings of the Learner e-Assessments that are carried out for at least the first three qualifications courses will be submitted to QA for moderation purposes. After six courses have been delivered, if DCS can still not be awarded and further moderation is required, QA will charge an additional administration fee of £15.00 per course until such time as the Centre can be granted DCS (see the Qualsafe at Home Qualifications Incorporating Learner e-Assessment – Requirements for Direct Claims Status (DCS) for further details)
• Learner assessment paperwork will be completed and submitted to QA (where applicable)
