Teaching and assessing candidates

The role of the teacher/lecturer in a centre is to deliver the learning and teaching to prepare candidates for assessment. Staff in centres may develop their own learning materials or work with other centres to share the development and materials. Some Local Authorities have set up networks to encourage collaboration in developing materials and sharing experience between centres.

Centres should also consult the NQ Online section of the Learning Teaching Scotland website and check for materials that may assist in the delivery of specific Units. These materials are organised in subject order and may be downloaded.

Once the assessor (Teacher/Lecturer) judges that the candidate is ready to be assessed the candidate should be assessed using the appropriate assessment materials.
