As an assessor I am allocated 10 hours for L2 and 12hours for L3.
my candidates also attend college once a week for a year - some classes mandatory, some optional.
It is then up to myself and the candidate to decide how, when and what we cover.
as for actual 'observed assessments' they[the college] like us to do a min of 3 in total.

If the candidates contact me to ask questions, advice etc, as long as it's reasonable -ie not daily!! - I don't usually take this time into account.

cabin, do you do a min of 3 observed assessments for each unit or 3 min observations in total per candidate?

Also, your hours...is that 10 hours a month per candidate or 10 hours a month total for all your candidates? How many candidates do you have?

[cabin]

the whole thing!!!

But remember I do work for a college and candidates do have taught lessons too. However as I've said before not all classes are mandatory, so when we only have 10 hours paid for the whole of their course, we need to be careful that candidates do not become to dependant on us rather than bother to turn up for classes.- which I have to say happens quite a lot.

this is an interesting thread. How many hours are other assessors allocated per candidate, per level?

The learners have a funding end date which for level 2 is about 13 months and for level 3, they get 2 years. this is for anapprenticeship framework, not NVQ only as I am an assessor for a training company, not college. I visit my candidates about once every 3 weeks or once a month. They attend college one day a fortnight. How I spend the time with them is totally up to me, and have to cater to the individual. I'm expected to have a caseload of about 30 learners, I have 29 at the moment.
