Frequently Asked Questions
What documents should every learner file contain?
A complete learner file should normally include enrolment documentation, learner identification, attendance records (where applicable), assessment evidence, moderation records (where applicable), workplace evidence (if required), and completion records. The exact requirements depend on the qualification and the provider’s own quality system.
How long should learner records be retained?
Record retention requirements depend on applicable legislation, funding agreements, regulatory requirements, and your own document retention policy. Every provider should maintain a documented record retention procedure.
What is an Evidence Integrity Review™?
An Evidence Integrity Review™ is an independent review of your learner records, assessment evidence, workplace learning documentation, governance processes, and document control systems. It helps identify strengths, risks, and opportunities for improvement before an external evaluation.
