  1. Welcome to SVQ Management Networking Event April 2013

  3. SVQ Management Networking Event April 2013Verification UpdateBill Breckenridge, Senior EV

  4. SVQ Management Networking Event Verification visits point to conclusions which have been drawn in the past: • Most centres deliver the qualifications well and have suitable procedures and systems to support delivery • Candidates usually give very positive feedback and express considerable satisfaction with centres and with their experience of SVQ Management • Most centres aim for continuous improvement – seek to build on their own good practice and take on board what others are doing

  5. SVQ Management Networking Event Continuous Improvement Centres continue to focus on improving their approach: Continued adoption of e portfolios, templates and documentation, and good Internal Verification (IV) practice • General Feedback • Delivery Systems • Claiming Competence – Candidate Learning • Internal Verification and Standardisation • Transferability and Progression – SCQF levels • CPD • EV Visits

  6. SVQ Management Networking Event General Feedback • Feedback from candidates is very positive • Feedback to candidates: either via e-portfolio systems (diary) or strong planning documentation • Management Development Programmes • Matching Occupational Role: use of diagnostic tool

  7. SVQ Management Networking Event Delivery Systems Centres generally keep refining their delivery approach and the systems to support it, for example: • Clear documentation - final assessor statements; candidate feedback forms [eg learner questionnaire]; recording templates • Use of support material for candidates - SQA support materials • Feedback to and communication with candidates • E portfolios • VLE • Screening candidates (diagnostic) • Induction of new assessors

  8. SVQ Management Networking Event Claiming Competence – Candidate Learning Key aspects of SVQ Management - candidates should: • Provide evidence of their work as managers - proving that they work in accordance with all relevant performance criteria and behaviours in the standards [performance evidence is crucial] • Show that they know what the standards are [must make a connection between the standards and the evidence provided; select critical pieces of evidence]

  9. SVQ Management Networking Event Claiming Competence – Candidate Learning (cont) Key aspects of SVQ Management - candidates should: • Show that they possess the underpinning knowledge and understanding outlined in the standards • Take responsibility for their own work [candidate led] - encourage reflective approach

  10. SVQ Management Networking Event • Claiming Competence – Candidate Learning (cont) • Candidates should show: • Process evidence: it is what candidates have done/are doing with policies/procedures that is important, eg copies of procedures/policies/blank documents are generally not evidence • Behaviours: through the candidate’s conduct; can be evidenced in a variety of ways eg Witness Testimony, Observation, RAs • Ownership: decide what evidence to include and best way to make claims for competence • Signposting: storyboards, RAs etc should clearly signpost relevant items

  11. SVQ Management Networking Event Standardisation • Logging ‘the ad hoc’ – number of centres do meet/discuss evidence, candidate work, standards etc regularly but don’t fully capture the full range of good work being performed. • CPD Development activities for assessors, eg preparing support material; new management techniques as well as development as an assessor or IV. NB: CPD logs are still occasionally not fully complete or available • Dedicated standardisation meetings on SVQ Management

  12. SVQ Management Networking Event Internal Verification • Completing the loop, eg showing how actions identified are followed through and completed and signed off. • Cascading EV development points through CPD where appropriate and evidencing in logs/minutes/action plans. • Providing feedback to assessors which enable further development.

  13. SVQ Management Networking Event Internal Verification (cont) • Interim and final verification even with experienced assessors • Clear and transparent sampling plans to ensure full coverage of Units/assessments • Using internal verification as a formal part of induction programme

  14. SVQ Management Networking Event Transferability and Progression – SCQF Levels • Maintain credibility of SVQs in Management – for holders of the qualifications and others. • SCQF levels are becoming more important as SVQ Management is acceptable for credit transfer and/or progression to other qualifications • Make sure candidates are at correct level – both occupationally and on SCQF • Take account of SCQF levels of Units when making assessor judgements eg knowledge at SCQF Level 11 in SVQ 5 in Management

  15. SVQ Management Networking Event Continuing Professional Development (CPD) • CPD records should include activities specifically related to SVQ Management • Assessors/IVs need to maintain occupational as well as assessor competence • CPD records must be available • Documented policy for staff development of assessors/IVs associated with SVQ Management

  16. SVQ Management Networking Event EV Visits Vast majority of cases centres very well prepared: • Availability of sample • User friendly portfolios: access to e portfolios; recordings; videos etc • CPD records • Role of EV

  17. SVQ Management Networking Event Huge thanks to Bob Robertson Thank you for all the work and the commitment and enthusiasm - of you and your colleagues in delivering the SVQs in Management successfully during past year. Result - Overall the candidates get a positive and beneficial learning experience.
