Customer Reviews

No Assessor should be without it.
This book is an invaluable aid to candidates who are working towards an A1 or V1 qualification. It provides easy to understand information on how to attain your award, what your responsibilites are on achievement and how to effectively carry out your role. It is an invaluable source of information and guidance for registered assessors and verifiers and underpins existing knowledge with concise up to date guidance and advice.
As an assessor myself, I regularly use it for reference and clarification and would not hesitate to recommend it.

far too complex
this book seemed to be what i needed but after reading through it i found it to be over complicated and not so jargon free. Maybe useful to people who already know what they are doing but not so good for first timers like myself. I found it extreamley hard to work through this book and it did not overly help me for my A1 award.
