About the Qualification

Mapped to Ofqual General Conditions of Recognition: E3.2a/E3.3b The AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications is designed to provide structure and guidance to support the planning and delivery of vocationally related skills for Entry Level learners. These qualifications enable learners to explore different vocational areas and to reflect on their experiences. These are available at Entry 1 and Entry 2 and include units that explore animal care, art and design, catering, construction, customer service, hairdressing, horticulture, hospitality, motor vehicle, retail, sport, travel and tourism, working in a care environment and working in an office. These qualifications support the development of skills to enable learners to be better prepared for engagement with employment, whether it is as a paid employee, work in a supported work project or as a volunteer. The units can be used to either give learners work tasters or to support them whilst on work experience. Principally these qualifications are designed to meet the needs of those learners for whom mainstream vocational education is not always appropriate, learners with learning difficulties and disabilities, disaffected and disengaged learners, learners for whom employment poses difficulties e.g. recovering from illness and looking for sheltered or supported employment. This suite includes Awards and Extended Awards (Entry1 and Entry 2) in the following vocational areas:

o Animal Care o Catering o Construction o Customer Service o Hairdressing o Horticulture o Hospitality o Retail o Sport o Travel and Tourism o Working in a Care Environment o Working in an Office

The Certificates, Extended Certificates and Diplomas (see page 40) allow learners to explore the range of vocational areas listed above with the addition of units in further vocational areas.

To be awarded the qualification, learners must provide evidence of achievement of all the assessment criteria for all the units specified in the rules of combination (see Section 2 for guidance on rules of combination). The assessment process is as follows:

Suitable assessment tasks are internally set at your centre that allow learners to be able to provide evidence of achievement of the assessment criteria of the unit(s)

All assessment tasks must be scrutinised by the Internal Verifier before they are delivered to your learners to ensure that they are fit for purpose

Page 93: AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications · Appendix 2 – Qualification Description (Summary) 104 Appendix 3 – AIM Awards Glossary of Assessment Terms 106 Appendix

93 AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications

© AIM Awards 2013

Learners are assessed at the centre, using the IV approved assessment tasks

The resulting assessed evidence is internally verified by an IV at the centre

The assessed evidence is scrutinised by an AIM Awards appointed External Verifier (EV) to ensure reliability and validity of assessment

A range of sample assessment materials are available on our website. For more detailed guidance on working with AIM Awards qualifications, refer to the Being an AIM Awards Centre document available on our website.

Methods of Assessment All internally set assessment tasks should be transparent, fair, inclusive, reliable, rigorous, relevant and sufficient and allow learners to produce work that is authentic. Learners must be assessed in English in England, English or Welsh in Wales and English or Irish in Northern Ireland (unless the qualification is specifically about learning a foreign language). Assessment tasks must allow all learners to generate evidence of their achievement of all of the unit criteria in a manner that is appropriate for the assessment criteria, type of unit and learner: Written tasks Where the tasks require learners to produce written work, this may be handwritten or typed. The language of the task must be based on the assessment verb(s) - please refer to Appendix 3 ‘Glossary of Assessment Terms’ for further explanation. The quality and quantity of written evidence provided will depend on the level and context of the unit. Practical ability You must provide evidence of the learners individually and actively completing tasks that demonstrate achievement of the assessment criteria. Evidence must consist of at least two of the following:

annotated photographs

detailed witness statements

video (with narration or written log)

learner log/evaluation

peer observation report N.B. Where photographs/videos are used you must clearly identify each individual learner. Oral question and answer Evidence must include the questions asked as well as a transcript of the learner’s exact responses. This could be written or an audio or video recording. Group discussion You must provide details of the topic/task set. Evidence of each learner achieving each assessment criteria covered by the group discussion task(s) must be provided. Evidence must include at least two of the following:

transcript or video of learners’ responses

Page 94: AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications · Appendix 2 – Qualification Description (Summary) 104 Appendix 3 – AIM Awards Glossary of Assessment Terms 106 Appendix

94 AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications

© AIM Awards 2013

learner log/evaluation

peer observation report

detailed witness statement explaining what each learner contributed and how they behaved during the discussion(s).

Artefact/Product Where the unit requires learners to produce an artefact or physical product, the artefact or product must be provided for the Internal and External Verifier unless this is impractical (for example if the product is consumable), in which case several annotated photographs, audio or video recordings of the artefact are acceptable evidence. Learner evidence must include:

details of the tasks set for learners to complete, mapped against the assessment criteria of the units addressed

a learner declaration that all work produced is their own

summative learner generated assessment evidence - teaching materials must not be included as evidence

Template assessment forms and exemplars are available on our website.

Marking Tasks Mapped to Ofqual General Conditions of Recognition: H5.1/H5.2/H5.3/H5.4

Once learners have completed work against the assessment tasks the Assessor must mark the work against the assessment criteria to ensure that it is at the correct level for the unit and is sufficient, appropriate, and authentic. Please refer to Appendix 4: ‘QCF Level Descriptors’ for guidance. You must ensure that evidence generated by individual learners in an assessment is generated by that learner, i.e. that plagiarism does not occur. Assessors must judge and mark whether each assessment criteria is either achieved or not achieved. Units are only achieved when all assessment criteria have been achieved. All reasonable steps must be taken to avoid any part of the assessment of a Learner (including Verification) being undertaken by any person who has a personal interest in the result of the assessment.

Recording Achievement

Assessors must make it clear to the Internal and External Verifiers where achievement of each assessment criteria has been evidenced. Once the work has been marked and signed off as meeting the assessment criteria by the Assessor final feedback should be provided to the learner. The Assessor must tick the RAC to indicate which unit(s) each learner has achieved and then sign to confirm the certification. The completed marked work should be presented to the Internal Verifier for sampling according to the internal verification plan. Once this process has been completed the Internal Verifier must sign the RAC.

95 AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications

© AIM Awards 2013

External Verification

Once the learner work has been completed, assessed and internally verified according to your IV plan, it should be presented for external verification. The EV will expect to be able to look at all completed and assessed learner work that is being claimed for on the RAC(s). The EV will want to review records of assessment, IV documentation, feedback to learners, any reasonable adjustments applied. The completed RACs must also be available for the EV to review. If the EV is satisfied with the standards of assessment and verification they will approve the RACs by signing them and learners will then be certificated.

Reasonable Adjustments Mapped to Ofqual General Conditions of Recognition H5.2

Reasonable Adjustments are adjustments made to an assessment for a qualification so as to enable a learner to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding. The nature of any reasonable adjustments depends on the particular requirements as well as on the qualification and assessment methods. Reasonable adjustments are generally not appropriate where the learner’s particular difficulty directly affects performance in the actual attributes to be assessed. The Internal Verifier may give permission for reasonable adjustments for a learner without having to apply to AIM Awards for approval, provided that such arrangements do not confer an unfair advantage. The Internal Verifier must approve and record the details of all reasonable adjustments made at the discretion of the centre and must make this available for external verification. Further details are provided in our Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations document available on our website.

Special Considerations

Special Consideration is consideration to be given to a learner who has temporarily experienced an illness or injury, or some other event outside of their control which has had or is reasonably likely to have had an effect on their ability to take an assessment or on their level of attainment in an assessment. Special consideration is not appropriate for a minor illness or a minor disturbance. It may not be possible to apply special consideration where an assessment requires the learner to demonstrate practical competence. In some circumstances it may be more appropriate to offer the learner an opportunity to take the assessment at a later date rather than apply special considerations. A Request for Special Consideration form (available on our website) should be completed for each learner requesting special consideration with supporting evidence, which may include medical/psychological evidence or a statement from the invigilator/verifier. Further details are provided in our Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations document available on our website.

AIM Awards Qualification Standardisation

Centres will be required to provide samples of assessment tasks for AIM Awards qualification standardisation activity. Qualification standardisation is a process that

96 AIM Awards Suite of Exploring Work (QCF) Qualifications

promotes consistency in the understanding and application of standards and provides us with important information for our qualification review process.

It is a requirement of the Centre Agreement that each centre offering the units from the qualification must contribute assessment materials and learners’ evidence for standardisation if requested. We will write to you to request samples if necessary. Outcomes from qualification standardisation will be made available to those centres using that qualification.

Centres wishing to offer this qualification must complete and submit a Qualification Approval Form (QAF) (available on the AIM Awards website) to their allocated Customer Support Officer. Some qualifications require that centres have specific resources in place and/or that their Assessors/ Internal Verifiers hold certain qualifications. Specialist requirements such as these will be identified on the Qualification Approval Form. Where this is the case, centres must provide evidence of resources/staff qualifications when submitting the completed form.

Fees and Charges

The AIM Awards Fees and Charges Brochure includes all qualification charges and is available on our website. Please note that registrations will not be processed until the annual centre recognition fee has been paid.

Registration and Certification Once centres have approval to offer a qualification, they will be able to register learners via the AIM Awards Online Portal. Learners must be registered onto the correct programme via the Portal (a programme is the centre’s chosen set of units from their approved qualification). Centres should also check that the correct units are listed. All learner registrations must be checked carefully in order to avoid Maladministration and Malpractice. A Recommendation for the Award of Credit (RAC) form will be produced for each programme once learners are registered. Centres will be able to download their RAC forms within four weeks of receipt of correctly submitted registrations. The RAC is used to claim the learners’ achievements at the end of the course and details must be checked carefully as these will appear on any certificates issued. Once the RAC has been correctly completed and has been received by AIM Awards, certificates and a summary of credit achievement will be produced and issued. Learners that have achieved a qualification will be issued with a qualification certificate with details of the qualification and units achieved. Learners that have not achieved a qualification will be issued with a unit certificate with details of the units and credits achieved.

Glossary of Assessment Terms

There are two main types of assessment: summative and formative. The key to good

assessment practice is for Assessors to understand what each method contributes and to

build their practice to maximise the effectiveness of each.

Assessment Criteria: descriptions by which the Assessor determines whether a learner has

demonstrated achievement of the intended learning outcomes for a particular level.

Formative Assessment: designed to provide learners with feedback on progress and inform

development.

Summative Assessment: provides a measure of achievement in respect of a learner’s

performance in relation to the intended learning outcomes. It contributes to the overall

result of achieved/not achieved.

Assessment Terms

Analyse Identify separate factors, show how they are related and

how each one contributes to the whole

Appraise Consider the positive and negative points and give a

reasoned judgement

Assess Give consideration to all the factors or events that apply

and then make a careful and valued judgement as to

which are the most important or relevant

Comment critically Give a view after consideration of all the evidence. In

particular decide the importance of all the relevant

positive and negative aspects

Compare/Contrast Using the main factors that apply in two or more

situations unpick the similarities and differences or

advantages and disadvantages

Define Make clear what a particular term means and give an

example, if appropriate, to show what is meant

Demonstrate Show by example

Describe Give a clear overview that includes all the relevant

features – ‘painting a picture with words’

Design Create a plan, proposal or brief to illustrate a concept or

idea

Discuss Take part in a conversation about a topic

Draw conclusions Use the evidence provided to reach a reasoned

judgement

Evaluate Decide the degree to which a statement is true or the

importance or value of something by reviewing the

information.

Explain Set out in detail the meaning of something, with reasons.

More complex than describe or list, so it can help to give

an example to show what is meant. Introduce the topic

then give the ‘how’ or ‘why’

Identify Pin point or choose the right one or give a list of the main

features

Illustrate Include examples, a diagram, pictures or photographs to

show what is meant

Interpret Give the meaning of something

List Provide the information in a list, rather than in

continuous writing

Outline Give a brief overview

Plan Work out and decide how to carry out a task or activity

Select Choose from a given range

State Give a clear but brief account

Summarise Write or articulate briefly the main points or essential

features
