map NVQ CCLD L2 evidence to CCLD L3

[Ruthierhyme]

I recieved a query a couple of days ago that prompts this ask .. my sincere apologies for preempting any intention of the original contactee xx

What objective thoughts do you have on using a candidate's submitted evidence from a passed certified Lv2 in their ** starting ccld Lv3 - how is it possible to map this and how do you manage the hours involved in reading through candidates observations/statements/knowledge or prefer to begin each level afresh?


Many thanks

i dont allow it as the knowledge for 2 is so much moire simplistic. at 2 they know what they do at 3 they should know how and why and more how to improve it. and to be honest i have only ever been asked once and that was by someone who was keener on speed than quality. Also if a student did want to x ref they would do the reading and referencing i dont ref level 3 they do it all themselves!
i think we have to stop seeing 3 as a continuation, it isnt its what they should do after going to work as a 2 for a year or so. our college insists on being employed in a 2 3 job and having a 2 already pref for 1 yr at least and our pass rate and drop out rate is extremely low.

You're right sorry, I've edited my original post to remove continuation.

Hi new on this forum but not to NVQ assessing.

EV's are checking more than ever now that assessors are taking into account a candidate's APA (accredited prior achievement) I agree mapping from L2 to L3 could take a lot of assessor time. The quality of the evidence also depends on the level & experience of the candidate when undertaking L2. Some are straight L2's but others are border line L2/L3. When I plan unit assessment with L3 candidates I ask them to find evidence from L2 which they feel meets the L3 criteria. If this only part meets I will ask them for further evidence at L3 level. Depending on criteria this could mean further direct obs, questioning or professional discussion. Both the APA evidence & new evidence would then be logged.

Hope this makes sense??
