Assessor and Verifier

The OCR assessor and verifier awards are work-oriented and are suitable for those who have real work experience. They are open to candidates of any age, of either gender and there are no entry barriers on grounds of race, creed or previous academic attainment or learning. Candidates are expected to have sufficient standards of communication and number skills to carry out the work described in the standards.

These assessor qualifications recognise the candidate’s competence in assessing NVQ candidates to national standards.
