Competence profiles
Each role has scheme-specific requirements covering technical knowledge, audit skill, recent practice and impartiality.
Institutional framework
People and competence
How role requirements, authorisation and continuing competence are defined and monitored.
People are appointed only when competence and independence can be evidenced.
Authorisation and monitoring
Initial authorisation, witnessed practice, continuing development and performance review are recorded.
Confirmed appointments only
Names, offices and committee memberships are published only after formal appointment, approval and verification.
Role-specific authority
Authorisation states which schemes, technical areas, delivery modes and functions a person may perform. Technical expertise in language teaching or testing does not automatically confer audit skill or decision authority.
Continuing competence
Continuing competence is supported by recent practice, calibration, witnessed work, technical development, feedback and review of completed assignments. Restrictions, supervision or reauthorisation are applied when evidence is insufficient.
Official appointments
The public team directory contains only formally appointed people with approved professional biographies.
