All learner grades for each component must have been approved by the VQA before the provider can release them to the learners.
A provider must apply for approval of learner grades using the process described in PSET Assessment and Moderation Guidelines for Providers.
The application requires completion of the Internal Moderation Report. The template can be found here.
Learner grades are approved on the basis of evidence of rigorous internal moderation of assessments as presented in the Internal Moderation Report and on the completed internal pre- and post-moderation forms.
If rigorous internal moderation of assessments has not been demonstrated, no learner grades will be approved, until the provider has addressed the issues identified by the VQA.
VQA will not issue qualification documents for a learner until all grades in the course for this learner have been approved.
Internal moderation is a process of checking the quality of assessment of a particular component to ensure that the assessment principles are met. Internal moderation is carried out internally by the registered PSET provider.
Providers will only have their learners' grades approved by VQA if they follow the prescribed processes and can demonstrate evidence of a rigorous process of internal moderation.
Internal moderation consists of two steps.
Step 1: Internal pre-moderation
This is the moderation of assessment tasks, processes and materials before they are being used. Internal moderation must have been completed before the first assessment for a component is given to the learner.
- The process for conducting internal pre-moderation is found in PSET Assessment and Moderation Guidelines for Providers
- For competency-based assessment the following form must be used: Internal Pre-Moderation Form-Units of Competency
- For achievement-based assessment the following form must be used: Internal Pre-Moderation Form-Achievement Based
Step 2: Internal post-moderation
This is the moderation of a learner's completed work which has already been assessed and marked, which verifies the consistency of the assessment decision. It also includes moderation of the assessment process, to ensure that assessment has been conducted in accordance with the assessment principles.
- The process for conducting internal post-moderation is found in PSET Assessment and Moderation Guidelines for Providers
- For competency-based assessment the following form must be used: Internal Post-Moderation Form-Units of Competency
- For achievement-based assessment the following form must be used: Internal Post-Moderation Form-Achievement Based
