Introduction from Chair and Functional Skills Delivery Manager Welcome to your New Examiner training! Examining is an excellent way of getting to grips with the expectations of the specification and how mark schemes are applied – useful for bringing back to the classroom and raising the attainment of your own students. We have designed this training to give you an introduction to being an examiner, what you will be expected to do as well as getting to grips with some real life work. We hope that you find examining an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Welcome to the team! Garcia Cardoso QDAM; Verity Mosenthal Chair of Examiners
