The proposed changes relate mainly to safety, and the availability of equipment and resources when off-site facilities or resources are to be used for training and assessment. - Criterion 7 – Assessment
The proposed changes relate to pre-assessment moderation of assessment materials and the availability of learners’ evidence for post-assessment moderation. - Criterion 8 – Reporting
A new requirement has been added.
