Team of assessors and internal verifiers
The programme team consists of the teachers or tutors who are responsible for the delivery, assessment and internal verification of the Edexcel BTEC or other qualification.
An assessor is anyone responsible for the assessment of learners.
Internal verification is the quality assurance system that you use to monitor assessment practice and decisions, ensuring that:
- assessment is consistent across the programme
- assessment instruments are fit for purpose
- assessment decisions accurately match learner work to assessment and grading criteria
- standardisation of assessors takes place.
The appropriate minimum size of the programme team will depend on the number of units and the number of learners. |

An internal verifier can be anyone involved in the delivery and assessment of the programme. Please note that you cannot internally verify your own assessment.
Where there is a team of assessors, it is good practice for all assessors to be involved in internally verifying each other. If there is only one main person responsible for delivery and assessment, arrangements must be made for their assignments and assessment decisions to be internally verified by someone appropriately experienced.
All team members should:
- Read and understand the specification
- Understand the construction of the units
- Identify opportunities to generate evidence
- Create and agree a plan of assessment activities, with timescales
- Ensure the assessment plan, assignments and assessment decisions are internally verified and appropriate action is taken by the team
- Read and understand the BTEC Quality Assurance Handbook.
