It is not a standardisation activity and for assessment decisions, will be undertaken after assessment has taken place.  \nRemember-Assessors cannot internally verify their own work whether this is an assignment or the assessment of learner work.  \nThe Lead Internal Verifier will organise the process and may be involved but they are not the only member of the team who can undertake internal verification activities.  \nWhich Qualifications does this Guide Cover?  \nThis guide provides essential information for BTEC programme teams on the planning and implementation of internal verification for the following BTEC qualifications:  \n• BTEC Level 1 Entry and Introductory Suite (from 2016)  \n• BTEC Level 1/2 Firsts  \n• BTEC 2010 Level 3 Nationals, Level 2, Level 1 and Entry Level  \n• Pearson BTEC International Level 3 and Level 2 Applied Science qualifications 2020 and Level 2 Art and Design qualifications 2021  \nSuccessful Internal Verification  \nInternal verification can be undertaken in several ways, but it should be a recognised activity and supported consistently across your centre.  \nTo ensure a rigorous and robust approach to internal verification, you will need to have the following in place:  \n• A Lead Internal Verifier in place to oversee quality assurance for that subject  \n• A recognised team of Internal Verifiers, who meet regularly to ensure standardisation of procedures  \n• An internal verification policy which promotes a rigorous commitment to quality improvement  \n• A risk-based approach is taken to planning internal verification  \n• Internal verification processes that are agreed and published so that they are  \nclearly understood by all members of staff delivering and assessing BTEC qualifications  \n• An internal verification process which is monitored at a centre level by the Quality Nominee and for the subject area by the Lead Internal Verifier.  \nThe following are examples of best practice:  \n• BTEC internal verification forms are standardised across the centre  \n• Internal verification schedules are drawn up to ensure timely implementation of the process  \n• All experienced Assessors are involved in the internal verification role  \n• Standardisation meetings are recognised as pivotal to staff development  \n• The time required to carry out internal verification is acknowledged.  \nFor more details on the role and responsibilities of the Lead Internal Verifier please see the BTEC Delivery and Assessment Roles and Responsibilities.  \nRetaining Documents  \nInternal verification documentation, along with other BTEC assessment documentation must be stored securely for a minimum of three years after the date of certification, either physically or electronically.  \nLearner work must be retained for a minimum of 12 weeks after the date of certification (unless specifically advised longer due to unforeseen circumstances) . Please note that the 12 weeks starts once the certificates have been received by your centre.  \nCertification-This date is the date that certificates are received by your centre.  \nBTEC Documentation to Retain  \n• Assessment plans  \n• Assignment briefs  \n• Assessment records (learner feedback)  \n• Learner authentication records  \n• Internal verification records  \n• Assessment","cbCaiouX9vaXbEgb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiouX9vaXbEgb","pdf",261724,17,"English","# Introduction\n# Successful Internal Verification\n# Retaining Documents\n# Internal Verification of Assignment Briefs\n# Support and Guidance","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of internal verification in BTEC programmes?\",\"answer\":\"Internal verification is a quality control mechanism ensuring internally assessed units/components are fit for purpose, assessed accurately to national standards, and assessed consistently across the programme.\"},{\"question\":\"Can an assessor internally verify their own work or the assessment of learner work?\",\"answer\":\"No. Assessors cannot internally verify their own work, whether it is the assignment or the assessment of learner work.\"},{\"question\":\"How long must internal verification and BTEC assessment documents be retained?\",\"answer\":\"Internal verification documentation and other BTEC assessment documentation must be stored securely for a minimum of three years after the date of certification; learner work must be retained for a minimum of 12 weeks after certification, unless longer is advised.\"}]","BTEC International Centre Guide to Internal Verification - 2025-2026 | PDF",1792469125,43]
