Becoming an assessor

Self-management assessors are accredited tutors who receive further training to carry out assessments and monitoring visits to assess the competency of tutors. To become an assessor, a tutor will have to go through the following process:

• A comprehensive recruitment procedure
• Attendance at a standardised training event of up to 12 hours
• Observe the practice of an accredited assessor
• Carry out an assessment and receive feedback
• Supply copies of assessment paperwork for audit
• Gain accreditation (once the above stages have been successfully completed)
• Retain accreditation through attending one supervision group per year
