They are made up of a wide variety of units which fall into two broad categories: Employability and Personal and Social Development (PSD) units Vocational taster units You will need to decide with your assessor/tutor which units you should do. Depending on which units you complete (and the number of credits they are worth), you may be entitled to either an Award or Certificate qualification. Each unit contains a list of things you need to do to show that you have the required skills or knowledge; these are known as assessment criteria. You will need to meet all of the assessment criteria to complete the unit. Entry 3 Award, Certificate and Diploma in Employability and Personal Development (7546) 11

14 2 About the units 2.2 The assessment process The majority of the units in the Employability and Personal Development qualifications are assessed by what is known as a portfolio. A portfolio is a collection of evidence which demonstrates that you have achieved all the assessment criteria in a unit. Some of the vocational taster units are assessed differently and your assessor/tutor will explain this to you. The following people at your centre will explain the assessment process and help you achieve your unit(s). The assessor/tutor The assessor/tutor is the person you will have the most contact with as you work towards your unit(s). You may have more than one assessor/tutor depending on which unit(s) you take or you may be assessed by a person who is not your tutor. The internal verifier The internal verifier maintains the quality of assessment within the centre. The external verifier The external verifier works for City & Guilds and helps to ensure that your centre meets the required standards for quality and assessment. 12Entry 3 Award, Certificate and Diploma in Employability and Personal Development (7546)
