We wanted to remind you that all staff involved in T Levels must complete the mandatory standardisation training before 29 February 2024. Once the training is completed, the declaration form must be signed to confirm this. If you have completed the training but haven’t signed the declaration form, please do this as soon as possible.  

Benefits of this training   

This training is designed to bring your teams together to align assessment decisions and expectations for the externally moderated components of the occupational specialism (OS). The training will help you to achieve: 

• consistency in marking by establishing a unified understanding of the assessment criteria   
• fairness and equity by minimising the chances of subjective bias and ensure that all students receive an impartial assessment   
• improved communication, as this training will allow and encourage an open dialogue amongst your staff, giving opportunities to discuss challenges, clarify doubts and build collaboration   
• enhanced professional development by allowing staff to develop their professional growth. They should gain insight from colleagues and improve their understanding and execution of assessment   
• Time saving, by aligning the assessment decisions of your teams, you’ll reduce the time spent on recalibrating assessment decisions. This streamlined training approach ensures that your efforts are applied and focused on providing valuable feedback and reliable assessment to your students.
