Sampling Guide RQF Centres
The award of an IRRV is based on a number of assessment decisions. External Verifying is about checking the consistency of assessments. It is not cost effective or feasible to check every single assessment, so you look at a sample of the centre's assessments. This will normally involve meeting candidates and is not solely based on inspection of assessment records.
