ID requirements
All learners must be instructed to bring photographic identification to the assessment to be checked by the invigilator/assessor. This instruction should be given ahead of the course/assessment when the learner registers and/or with any pre-course materials. It is the responsibility of the centre to have systems in place to ensure that the person taking an examination/assessment is indeed the person they are purporting to be. All centres are therefore required to ensure that each learner’s photographic identification is checked before they are allowed to undertake the examination/assessment and write the type of photo identification provided by each learner on the Learner List under “Identification Provided”.
