No, any accredited Learning Assessor can assess any learner.  However, it often works well if a learner works closely with a Learning Assessor (ideally from outside their own Group).

Contact the learner and ask them for evidence.  You may want to do this via a telephone conversation and/or suggest the use of the assessment criteria templates (add a link).

Go to the request (as usual), click Assessment.  Do not click on the grey box at the top and then click Confirm Assessment.  The request will then be cancelled

We do not necessarily have all of these options available in West Sussex but courses from outside the County are acceptable as long as they meet the requirements.
