Qualification Updates Level 4 Apprenticeship Apprenticeship = SVQ + Enhancements (Core Skills/additional units etc.) At SCQF Level 8 Technical Apprenticeship rather than MA Technical Apprenticeship Enhancements = “Career Skills” Units (i.e. additional SVQ units) New Technical Apprenticeship will have to be developed by SDS/CFA Probable timescale November/December 2016 SQA re-accreditation of SVQ – Early 2017 Re-accreditation delayed due to funding implications

Assessment Validity “the extent to which the assessment measures what it claims to measure ”

Assessment Key to validity is the use of the assessment An assessment may be invalid for one use but valid for another Assessment instruments introduce artificiality and irrelevance; and are limited to a snapshot in time Many qualifications are concerned with ranking of performance (i.e. grading). This increases potential for error so should be justified by the use.

Assessment Primary use of SVQ assessment is to demonstrate occupational competence No better method of assessing competence than evidence of actual performance in the workplace Evidence can be gathered over a much longer period of time strengthening confidence and therefore validity Grading/ranking performance is not a concern, we are interested in competence at the relevant level, not “more competent, highly competent etc.”

All assessment is professional judgement
