Assessor Course

In order to prepare us for the first year students we were given the opportunity to do three courses in the beginning of the year the first one was the assessor course.
This consisted of learning

• how to do the actual assessment
• What the different types of assessment methods are
• What kind of laws are applicable to the assessor
• Where to get assessment material
  
• who is responsible for supplying the material
• How to establish the learners needs and how to handle challenges, barriers and special needs

We had the opportunity to assess one of our fellow students and had to do an assessment where we find them competent and one where we found them not yet competent.
Gerbie one of the academy staff was our coach and facilitator. We were also taught what to do if a student was found not yet competent again and again. It was actually quite easy for us because we had been assessed so often in our first year so we could do lots of comparisons.

Now it is only to get as much practice as possible.
