Highfield Level 2 Award in Legionella Awareness (RQF) 601-2972-4

Highfield Level 2 Award in Legionella Awareness (RQF) 4 Guidance on delivery The total qualification time for this qualification is 8, inclusive of guided learning hours. TQT is an estimate of the total number of hours it would take an average learner to achieve and demonstrate the necessary level of attainment to be awarded with a qualification, both under direct supervision (forming guided learning hours) and without supervision (all other time). TQT and GLH values are advisory and assigned to a qualification as guidance. Guidance on assessment This qualification is assessed by learner workbook. This assessment model requires learners to provide a short response to prescribed questions within a workbook set by Highfield. Successful learners will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding across the breadth of the qualification syllabus. Centres must take all reasonable steps to avoid any part of the assessment of a learner (including any internal quality assurance and invigilation) being undertaken by any person who has a personal interest in the result of the assessment. Guidance on quality assurance Highfield requires centres to have in place a robust mechanism for internal quality assurance. Internal quality assurance must be completed by an appropriately qualified person and that person must not have been involved in any aspect of the delivery or assessment of the course they are quality assuring. Highfield will support centres by conducting ongoing engagements to ensure and verify the effective and efficient delivery of the qualification. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Centres may apply to use recognition of prior learning or prior achievement to reduce the amount of time spent in preparing the learner for assessment. For further information on how centres can apply to use RPL as described above, please refer to the R ecognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy in the members’ area of the Highfield website. This policy should be read in conjunction with this specification and all other relevant Highfield documentation.
