CfA Consultation on Standards
 Majority of proposed changes relate to
unit titles and have no material effect on
assessment
 Current position of Accreditation Unit is that
proposed changes will not be accredited and
implemented until February 2016
Understanding Standards
 Examples of varying standards of practice relating to
assessment and recording of evidence
 Three sections:
- Assessor role
- Evidence
- Processes
Understanding Standards
 Focuses on types of evidence rather than covering
specific Units:
- ensures examples are relevant to all centres
- future proofs against changes to standards
 Centres can look to apply examples of good practice
where not already in place and avoid examples of pitfalls
and poor practice
