2 Centre requirements

Approval
Centres already approved to offer the Level 3 Certificate/Diploma Body
Repair (4101-62) will be automatically approved to register and certificate
candidates on the 4291-13 (unless the centre is already subject to
sanctions).

For all other cases, centres will need to gain both centre and qualification
approval. Please refer to the Centre Manual - Supporting Customer
Excellence for further information.

Centre staff should familiarise themselves with the structure, content and
assessment requirements of the qualifications before designing a course
programme.
Physical resources and site agreements
Centres must have access to sufficient equipment in the college, training
centre or workplace to ensure candidates have the opportunity to cover
all of the practical activities.
Centre staffing
Staff delivering this qualification must be able to demonstrate that they
meet the following occupational expertise requirements. They should:
• be occupationally competent or technically knowledgeable in the area
for which they are delivering training and/or have experience of
providing training. This knowledge must be to the same level as the
training being delivered.
• have recent relevant experience in the specific area they will be
assessing.
• have credible experience of providing training.

Centre staff may undertake more than one role, eg tutor and assessor or
internal verifier, but cannot internally verify their own assessments.
Assessors and internal Quality Assurer

centre staff, they are not currently a requirement for this qualification.

knowledge of the occupational area, that delivery, mentoring, training,
assessment and verification is in line with best practice, and that it takes
account of any national or legislative developments.

3 Delivering the qualification

Initial assessment and induction
An initial assessment of each candidate should be made before the start
of their programme to identify:
• if the candidate has any specific training needs,
• support and guidance they may need when working towards their
qualification.
• any units they have already completed, or credit they have
accumulated which is relevant to the qualification.
• the appropriate type and level of qualification.

We recommend that centres provide an induction programme so the
candidate fully understands the requirements of the qualification[s], their
responsibilities as a candidate, and the responsibilities of the centre. This
information can be recorded on a learning contract.
