Key features of the Edexcel Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Management (QCF)

This qualification:

• is nationally recognised

• is based on the Management and Leadership National Occupational Standards (NOS). The NOS, assessment requirements/strategy and qualification structure is owned by the Management Standards Centre (MSC).

The Edexcel Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Management (QCF) has been approved as a component required for the Leadership and Management Advanced Apprenticeship framework.

What is the purpose of this qualification?

This qualification is designed to recognise occupational competence in Management and Leadership. It allows learners to apply knowledge, understanding and skills to a national occupation level required by employers, thus proving competency in their job role.

Who is this qualification for?

This qualification is for all learners aged 16 and above who are capable of reaching the required standards.

The Edexcel Level 3 NVQ in Management (QCF) is a ‘cross-sector’ qualification. This means that this Edexcel NVQ can be taken by team leaders and managers across a wide variety of work areas in both the public and private sectors.

Edexcel’s policy is that the qualification should:

• be free from any barriers that restrict access and progression

• ensure equality of opportunity for all wishing to access the qualifications.

What are the benefits of this qualification to the learner and employer?

This qualification will allow learners to develop management, leadership and employability skills, which are all essential for the workplace. There is a wide range of optional units covering different aspects of management and leadership, which allows the learner choice to select units in a specialist area, or to spread their choice of units across several specialist areas.

How is the qualification graded and assessed?

The overall grade for this qualification is a ‘pass’. The learner must achieve all the required units within the specified qualification structure.

To pass a unit the learner must:

• achieve all the specified learning outcomes

• satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid evidence for each criterion

• show that the evidence is their own.

The qualification is designed to be assessed:

• in the workplace or

• in conditions resembling the workplace, as specified in the assessment requirements/strategy for the sector, or

• as part of a training programme.

Assessment strategy

The assessment requirements/strategy for this qualification has been included in Annexe D. It has been developed by the Management Standards Centre (MSC) in partnership with employers, training providers, awarding organisations and the regulatory authorities. The assessment strategy includes details on:

• external quality control

• assessment through performance in the workplace

• simulation of NVQ units

• occupational expertise to assess performance and moderate and verify assessments

Evidence of competence may come from:

• current practice where evidence is generated from a current job role

• a programme of development where evidence comes from assessment opportunities built into a learning/training programme whether at or away from the workplace

• the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) where a learner can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment criteria within a unit through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess without undertaking a course of learning. They must submit sufficient, reliable and valid evidence for internal and standards verification purposes. RPL is acceptable for accrediting a unit, several units or a whole qualification

• a combination of these.

It is important that the evidence is:

Valid relevant to the standards for which competence is claimed

Authentic produced by the learner

Current sufficiently recent to create confidence that the same skill, understanding or knowledge persist at the time of the claim

Reliable indicates that the learner can consistently perform at this level

Sufficient fully meets the requirements of the standards.

Types of evidence (to be read in conjunction with the assessment strategy in Annexe D)

To successfully achieve a unit the learner must gather evidence which shows that they have met the required standard in the assessment criteria. Evidence can take a variety of different forms including the following examples:

• direct observation of the learner’s performance by their assessor (O)

• outcomes from oral or written questioning (Q&A)

• products of the learner’s work (P)

• personal statements and/or reflective accounts (RA)

• outcomes from simulation, where permitted by the assessment strategy (S)

• professional discussion (PD)

• assignment, project/case studies (A)

• authentic statements/witness testimony (WT)

• expert witness testimony (EPW)

• evidence of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

The abbreviations may be used for cross-referencing purposes.

Learners can use one piece of evidence to prove their knowledge, skills and understanding across different assessment criteria and/or across different units. It is, therefore, not necessary for learners to have each assessment criterion assessed separately. Learners should be encouraged to reference the assessment criteria to which the evidence relates.

Evidence must be made available to the assessor, internal verifier and Edexcel standards verifier. A range of recording documents is available on the Edexcel website www.edexcel.com. Alternatively, centres may develop their own.

What do you need to offer this qualification?

Centre recognition

Centres that have not previously offered Edexcel qualifications need to apply for and be granted centre recognition as part of the process for approval to offer individual qualifications. New centres must complete both a centre recognition approval application and a qualification approval application.

Existing centres will be given ‘automatic approval’ for a new qualification if they are already approved for a qualification that is being replaced by the new qualification and the conditions for automatic approval are met. Centres already holding Edexcel approval are able to gain qualification approval for a different level or different sector via Edexcel online.

Approvals agreement

All centres are required to enter into an approvals agreement which is a formal commitment by the head or principal of a centre to meet all the requirements of the specification and any linked codes or regulations. Edexcel will act to protect the integrity of the awarding of qualifications, if centres do not comply with the agreement. This could result in the suspension of certification or withdrawal of approval.

Quality assurance

Detailed information on Edexcel’s quality assurance processes is given in Annexe B.

What resources are required to deliver this qualification?

This qualification is designed to support learners working in the management and leadership sector. Physical resources need to support the delivery of the qualifications and the assessment of the learning outcomes and must be of industry standard. Centres must meet any specific resource requirements outlined in Annexe: Assessment requirements/strategy. Staff assessing the learner must meet the requirements within the overarching assessment strategy for the sector.

The unit title is accredited on the QCF and this form of words will appear on the learner’s Notification of Performance (NOP).

This is the unit owner’s reference number for the specified unit.

This code is a unique reference number for the unit.

All units and qualifications within the QCF have a level assigned to them, which represents the level of achievement. There are nine levels of achievement, from Entry level to level 8. The level of the unit has been informed by the QCF level descriptors and, where appropriate, the NOS and/or other sector/professional.

All units have a credit value. The minimum credit value is one, and credits can only be awarded in whole numbers. Learners will be awarded credits when they achieve the unit.

A notional measure of the substance of a qualification. It includes an estimate of the time that might be allocated to direct teaching or instruction, together with other structured learning time, such as directed assignments, assessments on the job or supported individual study and practice. It excludes learner-initiated private study.

This provides a summary of the purpose of the unit.

The assessment/evidence requirements are determined by the SSC. Learners must provide evidence for each of the requirements stated in this section.

Learning outcomes state exactly what a learner should know, understand or be able to do as a result of completing a unit.

The assessment criteria of a unit specify the standard a learner is expected to meet to demonstrate that a learning outcome, or a set of learning outcomes, has been achieved.

Learners must reference the type of evidence they have and where it is available for quality assurance purposes. The learner can enter the relevant key and a reference. Alternatively, the learner and/or centre can devise their own referencing system.

This provides a summary of the assessment methodology to be used for the unit.

The learner should use this box to indicate where the evidence can be obtained eg portfolio page number.

The learner should give the date when the evidence has been provided.

Annexe B: Quality assurance

Key principles of quality assurance

• A centre delivering Edexcel qualifications must be an Edexcel recognised centre and must have approval for qualifications that it is offering.

• The centre agrees as part of gaining recognition to abide by specific terms and conditions around the effective delivery and quality assurance of assessment; the centre must abide by these conditions throughout the period of delivery.

• Edexcel makes available to approved centres a range of materials and opportunities to exemplify the processes required for effective assessment and provide examples of effective standards. Approved centres must use the guidance on assessment to ensure that staff who are delivering Edexcel qualifications are applying consistent standards.

• An approved centre must follow agreed protocols for: standardisation of assessors; planning, monitoring and recording of assessment processes; internal verification and recording of internal verification processes; and for dealing with special circumstances, appeals and malpractice.

Quality assurance processes

The approach to quality assured assessment is made through a partnership between a recognised centre and Edexcel. Edexcel is committed to ensuring that it follows best practice and employs appropriate technology to support quality assurance process where practicable. Therefore, the specific arrangements for working with centres will vary. Edexcel seeks to ensure that the quality assurance processes that it uses do not place undue bureaucratic processes on centres and works to support centres in providing robust quality assurance processes.

The learning outcomes and assessment criteria in each unit within this specification set out the standard to be achieved by each learner in order to gain each qualification. Edexcel operates a quality assurance process, which is designed to ensure that these standards are maintained by all assessors and verifiers.

For the purposes of quality assurance all individual qualifications and units are considered as a whole. Centres offering these qualifications must be committed to ensuring the quality of the units and qualifications they offer, through effective standardisation of assessors and internal verification of assessor decisions. Centre quality assurance and assessment processes are monitored by Edexcel.

N025050 – Specification – Edexcel Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Management (QCF) – Issue 1 – October 2010 © Edexcel Limited 2010

148

The Edexcel quality assurance processes will involve:

• gaining centre recognition and qualification approval if a centre is not currently approved to offer Edexcel qualifications

• annual visits to centres by Edexcel for quality review and development of overarching processes and quality standards. Quality review and development visits will be conducted by an Edexcel quality development reviewer

• annual visits by occupationally competent and qualified Edexcel Standards Verifiers for sampling of internal verification and assessor decisions for the occupational sector

• the provision of support, advice and guidance towards the achievement of National Occupational Standards.

Centres are required to declare their commitment to ensuring quality and appropriate opportunities for learners that lead to valid and accurate assessment outcomes. In addition, centres will commit to undertaking defined training and online standardisation activities.

149

Annexe C: Centre certification and registration

Edexcel Standards Verifiers will provide support, advice and guidance to centres to achieve Direct Claims Status (DCS). Edexcel will maintain the integrity of Edexcel QCF NVQs through ensuring that the awarding of these qualifications is secure. Where there are quality issues identified in the delivery of programmes, Edexcel will exercise the right to:

• direct centres to take actions

• limit or suspend certification

• suspend registration.

The approach of Edexcel in such circumstances is to work with the centre to overcome the problems identified. If additional training is required, Edexcel will aim to secure the appropriate expertise to provide this.

What are the access arrangements and special considerations for the qualification in this specification?

Centres are required to recruit learners to Edexcel qualifications with integrity.

Appropriate steps should be taken to assess each applicant’s potential and a professional judgement made about their ability to successfully complete the programme of study and achieve the qualification. This assessment will need to take account of the support available to the learner within the centre during their programme of study and any specific support that might be necessary to allow the learner to access the assessment for the qualification. Centres should consult Edexcel’s policy on learners with particular requirements.

Edexcel’s policy on access arrangements and special considerations for Edexcel qualifications aims to enhance access to the qualifications for learners with disabilities and other difficulties (as defined by the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act and the amendments to the Act) without compromising the assessment of skills, knowledge, understanding or competence. Please refer to Access Arrangements and Special Considerations for BTEC and Edexcel NVQ Qualifications for further details, www.edexcel.com.

Annexe D: Assessment requirements/strategy for Management and Leadership

Management Standards Centre – MSC

Assessment Strategy for Management and Leadership

Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) and National Vocational Qualifications (QCF) and Units

The Management Standards Centre (MSC) is the Government recognised standards setting body for management and leadership. This document sets out the overarching assessment strategy for National Vocational Qualifications QCF and related Units and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) in management and leadership based on the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for management and leadership.

1 Achieving External Quality Control of Assessment

The following measures are proposed in terms of achieving external quality control of assessment:

• Application of risk management. The MSC will expect awarding bodies to apply such risk management systems to the awarding of NVQs and SVQs in management and leadership and deploy resources accordingly to tackle identified risks.

• The existing Management and Leadership Qualifications Forum (M&LQF) will take on a more active role in relation to the ongoing assessment and quality assurance of NVQs and SVQs in management and leadership

• MSC encourages Standardisation activities/exercises across centres (assessors and internal verifiers) and external verifiers where appropriate.

2 Assessment through Performance in the Workplace

The NVQs and SVQs in management and leadership are to be assessed using evidence from the workplace ie observable performance, physical products of work (such as reports, plans, correspondence etc), witness testimony, discussion and questioning etc.

3 Assessment by Simulation

Simulation is not allowed.

4 Requirements for Assessors and Verifiers

Assessors and Verifiers must demonstrate that they:

• have credible expertise in management and leadership relevant to the level(s)/units they are assessing or verifying.

• keep themselves up-to-date with developments in management and leadership practice;

• have a thorough understanding of the NOS for management and leadership at the unit(s)/level(s) they are assessing or verifying.

Page 158: N025050 L3 NVQ Cert in Management QCF€¦ · The Edexcel Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Management (QCF) has been approved as a component required for the Leadership and Management Advanced

N025050 – Specification – Edexcel Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Management (QCF) – Issue 1 – October 2010 © Edexcel Limited 2010

152

In addition Assessors and Verifiers must have:

• An accredited assessor and/or verifier qualification, or

• A related qualification in assessment and/or verification that has been mapped to the national Occupational Standards for assessment and/or verifications, or

• Evidence of undertaking an employer assessment programme that has been mapped to the national Occupational Standards for assessment and/or verifications. MSC will work with Awarding Bodies through the Awarding Body forum to ensure that there is effective development and management through the QCF process.
