Standardisation Training
All tutors delivering CPCAB qualifications must attend a training session to ensure that they are assessing to a common standard. Tutors delivering the short (less than 30 GLH) level 2 qualifications (ELSK-L2, LSK-L2, USM-L2 and ICSK-L2) are only required to be standardised once - either before or during their first delivery of the course. All other tutors must attend standardisation training day every two years and receive ‘cascade’ training from another team member in the intervening year. These training days are offered free in regional locations.

Please note:
Centres must ensure that at least one experienced tutor and all new tutors attend a standardisation training session during the 2011/12 academic year. This is to ensure that they are assessing to a common standard.
CPCAB would like to draw your attention to the below:
- There is only one training day for tutors delivering qualifications at levels 5 and 6. (Friday 30/09/11 in London). This is so that all tutors teaching the higher levels are present on the same day to provide a richer and more meaningful experience. Please note we will also be covering levels 2-4 on this day.
- Tutors delivering only ICSK-L2 do not have to attend standardisation UNLESS they are delivering the course for the FIRST time and have not been standardised. CPCAB will verify the tutor assessments of candidate portfolios during the routine EV visits. (Please note tutors only delivering ELSK.LSK & USM do not need to attend a standardisation training day).
- Tutors not attending this academic year must receive ‘cascade’ training from the attending tutor(s)
- There is no charge for standardisation training and lunch is provided; to be sure of getting a place at your most convenient venue and book early.
A charge of £50 will be made to a training centre for the non-attendance of a tutor who has booked a place and has not cancelled (a week before the training) or failed to attend on the day.
To book your place
