Quote Dawn Cranswick, PNE Group “I recently completed my A1 Award with support from PNE Development. As an Assessor who originally qualified some years ago, I needed to update my qualification and I was a little worried that my ‘rustiness’ might create problems, but my Assessor and Internal Verifier were really supportive, and flexible with my timescales.
The A1 Award is essential for any practitioner wishing to Assess Vocational Qualifications, and is broad enough to ensure that all areas of competence in assessment are demonstrated. I’d recommend doing the A1 Award with PNE Development to anyone wishing to develop or update their skills in this area.”
