Verifiers

Verifier’s Role

Verifiers play a key role in supporting learners throughout the training and assessment process in primary industries and are usually a supervisor, team lead, manager, or a person with sound knowledge of the assessment topic.

Verifiers are used because of their subject matter knowledge and their frequent on- job access to a learner. They can observe learners when assessors are not available.

The main job of a verifier is to decide if the learner is consistently completing practical tasks to the required standard. This involves verifiers observing and questioning whilst the learner performs activities/tasks and giving feedback on the performance being witnessed.

Verifiers guide and assist learners in their collection of evidence, and therefore play a key role in supporting learners to achieve their qualification.

They give evidence to assessors and help assessors decide whether learners meet the standard.
