Each EV has the knowledge and hands-on experience that makes them an expert in their field, but it is their additional skills and experience that makes them an expert verifier. Because they share our values of excellence, engagement, integrity and innovation, centres and learners can rely on them for advice and guidance and to share best practice and ideas.

An EV's role is a varied one, but basically they ensure that all assessments undertaken within centres are fair, valid and consistent, and meet the requirements of the standards and the course syllabus. Where there are problems, they are on hand to provide guidance and support. In practice this means:

• making regular visits to centres and assessment locations to sample candidate assessments and monitor assessment and verification practice in centres
• sampling portfolios sent to them (remote monitoring)
• providing written and verbal feedback to centres as required by City & Guilds and preparing reports for City & Guilds
• maintaining accurate up to date records on activities undertaken.

With over 500 qualifications and 8500 centres across the globe, you won't be surprised to know that we can offer some great opportunities for subject specialists with that little bit extra.
