Centre Assessor Standardisation

Centre Assessor Standardisation is a core aspect of our Quality Assurance model, supporting the accurate application of standards to all learners each year. The materials are aimed to be supportive, and to give you authentic examples of the standards required. It’s essential a LIV is registered for each sector area, and that the materials are used to standardise all centre assessors who will be assessing BTEC this year.

OSCA platform availability 2020/21

This year we will continue to use the OSCA system to facilitate standardisation for sector teams. Here you will be able to register a Lead Internal Verifier (LIV) and access the Centre Standardisation Materials. Registration for Lead Internal Verifiers is now open through the OSCA platform on Edexcel Online. Please ensure you register a LIV by Friday 23 October 2020.

LIV registration

The process for the registration and standardisation of LIVs remains the same as in previous years. LIVs should remember that for QCF qualifications, OSCA accreditation ceased to exist on 31 August 2019. By registering as LIV for a QCF programme you are confirming standardisation will take place within your centre.

Standardisation materials

Standardisation materials will be made available from 2 October 2020 to allow centres to complete standardisation activity. The deadline for completion of the standardisation activity is Friday 13 November 2020.
