2.3 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Records The Assessment Strategy requires all Assessors and Internal Verifiers to maintain current competence in Management and quality assurance and assessment practices to deliver these functions. SQA recognises this can be achieved in many ways. However, such information must be formally recorded in individual CPD records that are maintained in centres and available to SQA on request. 3. Evidence 3.1 Evidence from Workplace Performance Evidence of occupational competence for all SVQ Management at all levels must be generated and collected through performance in the workplace. Performance Evidence must be produced for all Performance Indicators in all units. Simulation and/or Supporting Evidence may be used by exception to fill small gaps where Performance Evidence does not occur naturally but the unit is part of the candidate’s normal work duties. The use of Simulation and/or Supporting Evidence for Performance must be restricted to a small part of any unit. 3.2 Simulation Simulation must be carried out in a Realistic Working Environment (RWE). The criteria for RWEs are listed in Appendix A. 4. Employer Direct The Employer Direct Model is available only to centres who are employers assessing their own staff within the workplace. The Employer Direct Model is where colleagues, supervisors and/or managers in the workplace are involved in the assessment process. Under this model, the employer, subject to the agreement of SQA, may choose between: Achieving the appropriate regulatory body approved unit qualifications for assessment;
