This role exists across public, private, and voluntary sectors, wherever training and development are needed—such as healthcare, education, construction, business, and more.
The primary purpose is to assess learners’ competence using various methods, provide feedback, set learning goals, and support their progression. Assessors plan and carry out assessments, report results, and contribute to quality assurance, standardisation, and moderation processes.
They work independently, face-to-face or remotely, in a range of settings. Assessors must maintain up-to-date knowledge in their field and ensure their work meets industry and quality standards while collaborating with learners, tutors, and internal quality teams.
