Throughout your Grade Assessment you should receive regular feedback from your Assessor(s) as part of the ongoing assessment process.
There will be times when this feedback is more brief and informal, and of a motivational nature which relates to your general approach to undertaking your work.
There will also be more formal, structured feedback which should be focused around specific tasks and should be constructive.
Your formal feedback should be conducted by your Assessor(s) and be done in the workplace. It will be on a one-to-one basis, and will typically be at the end of a trip or significant activity that you have been involved in. The formal feedback you receive should offer insight of what you did well, comments on where to improve, and/or offer different ways to do the job (possibly in line with contractual agreements).
The feedback section of your Grade Assessment is ultimately the ‘decision’ section. Here you will find out if your Assessor has deemed you competent in the activity.
The Candidate’s Comments Section
This section is found at the bottom of the feedback paperwork. It is a section for you to add your feedback.
You should be very honest in this section and consider the following:
- Were you prepared for your Grade Assessment?
- Were you given opportunities to show your skillset?
- How did you find the process?
It is very important to ensure your paperwork is dated and your Assessor’s name is included and clear – to ensure traceability when final verification takes place.
At this time, it is worth checking that your ‘Assessor Sign Off’ form has in fact been signed and dated, to ensure your Grade Assessment paperwork is valid.
Feedback from MTCS
The feedback you receive from MTCS will be separate and received at a later date. The MTCS feedback will be focused around whether our Verifiers can confirm that your Grade Assessment process has covered all required criteria, over a broad enough range of activities.
Our Verifiers are ensuring a quality assessment has taken place. Once you have submitted all your evidence for verification, our Verifiers will get to work.
You should receive feedback from MTCS within 10 working days of final submission. However, it can take slightly longer if our Verifiers are waiting to hear back from your Assessor(s) and Witness(es).
As ever, if you need any further guidance, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us – enquiries@mtcs.info
