Slide31

Nearing the end of your Award

For each piece of evidence (text or photograph):

Having now completed either 12 weeks or 24 weeks, you now need to ask your assessor for an “Assessor’s Report”

Slide32

Assessor’s Reports

Assessor’s Report

Your Assessor now needs to confirm that you have met your aim:

You should give your Assessor the following details:

i: Your

eDOFE

ID Number (e.g. 1645536)

ii: Your Level (e.g. BRONZE)

iii: The section they are assessing (e.g. Skill)

iv: And ask them to enter their report online here:

https://www.edofe.org/assessor

Slide34

Assessor’s Report

3. The Assessor’s Report does not need to be too lengthy – a paragraph is fine.

Be aware:

Your assessor can be contacted to confirm that you have completed all the work that you are evidencing.

5. You need an Assessor’s Report for each section.
