What is a peripatetic assessor?
A peripatetic assessor is an assessor who travels between locations undertaking assessment in a candidate’s workplace. Best practice requires that candidates are assessed undertaking normal work activities. Therefore, where a candidate does not have a work-based assessor, they can be visited by a peripatetic assessor to undertake this assessment. A peripatetic assessor is able to visit candidates at different locations, giving the candidate access to assessment opportunities. Assessors need to be qualified in assessment, competent in the units they are assessing, and have sufficient time to undertake their role.
