The aim of this form is to give an overview of the proposed assessment, its set up and general structure. The form must be fully completed and answer all questions about the assessment, staffing & staffing structures and the assessment strategy. The number of candidates expected in each intake and projected start date must also be included. Any areas deemed not applicable should be completed with ‘N/A’.
The Standards mapping table within this form should be fully completed stating what evidence is available to demonstrate how each requirement is met. As some evidence may not be available until the assessment begins, the information must clearly specify what evidence will be available in future, for example, at the first inspection. The Standards for Education document contains examples of the types of evidence that providers may use to demonstrate how each of the requirements will be met.
Please answer each question fully on this form and state clearly if any part of a question is not applicable. Your answers should provide information directly relating to the assessment. If you reference any document in your answers, please indicate clearly the page / section of the attachment where the relevant information is found.
The updated 2025 Standards for Education contains 22 requirements under four standards. Standards 1-3 (requirements 1-18) are applicable to providers who are delivering programmes that lead to registration with the GDC. Standard 4 (requirements 19-22) is applicable to providers that are delivering assessments only that lead to registration with the GDC.
Please ensure that when completing the questionnaire, the answers provided are detailed and relevant to both the requirements and criterion listed under each requirement, as this will assist and improve the quality assurance process. Max 500 words for each section.
