Before Active IQ allocates DCS for a qualification, your allocated EV will need to see a minimum of five compliant summative learner portfolios. This sample must include all active assessors and verifiers involved within each qualification to clearly evidence sufficiency in practices across the team.

This list was set by SkillsActive following consultation with industry employers and key stakeholders, and all awarding organisations must abide by these.

If the learner portfolios were sampled at a formative stage, these will need to be sampled again at the summative stage (along with associated IV records) prior to certification being authorised. DCS will be awarded if the summative sample is compliant, providing that the requirements listed in Q7 are all covered.

Whilst parts of a qualification often remain similar after an update, if there have been significant changes made to the assessment requirements, Active IQ will need to sample your first cohort of completed portfolios before we can look at awarding DCS to ensure that all centre staff have understood the changes in the assessment strategies.

Not at all; it is a completely free service to our centres.
