Skill credential reviews

Assessor prepares a credential case under the learning request with the skill being assessed, the score and an evidence reference. The review date and case revision identify the work being presented. Credential Reviewer examines that case independently, using the supporting assessment evidence and the request context before authorizing issuance.

The case moves through Draft, Submitted, Approved, Rejected and Completed states as the configured review procedure proceeds. A recorded decision retains the reviewer, source revision and reason under the learning request. This gives another person a way to understand the decision without treating a program attendance record as a credential outcome.

• Case preparation. The Assessor names the skill and provides the assessed score and evidence reference. The case remains tied to its learning request and provider organization so the reviewer can examine the correct context.
• Independent review. Credential Reviewer decides the submitted case revision and records the reason. Approval establishes the reviewed basis for issuance; rejection or return needs a clear response before the case can proceed.
• Guarded issuance. The issuance request identifies both the credential case and learning request revisions, the actor and reviewer, and the approved evidence lines. Inspect the resulting operation evidence before treating the case as complete.

Define the skill wording and assessment basis the reviewer will use. The score should have an agreed meaning, and the evidence reference should lead the reviewer to material they can actually inspect. Name the independent reviewer and establish how the Assessor answers a returned case.

Agree which assessment entries the reviewer approves for issuance and how staff check both current revisions. Decide what recorded result confirms issuance for your operation and which supporting files remain available afterwards. If the credential must be published through an external service, agree that connection and its confirmation requirements before the team describes it as delivered.

Prepare a rehearsal credential case for a demonstrated spreadsheet skill. Record the assessed score and review date, then identify the verified assessment line and supporting work sample. Ask Credential Reviewer to explain whether that material supports the named skill and to record the decision reason against the relevant revision.

Rehearse a returned or rejected case so the Assessor understands the required correction. For an approved case, request issuance with the explicit evidence lines and current request and review revisions. Inspect the receipt and saved effect before completing the case. Try an old revision and an evidence line belonging to another request to verify that the operation cannot apply the decision to unrelated or changed work.

• Pending Credential Reviews — Draft and submitted cases with their skill, score and evidence reference.
• Credential Approval Inbox — Submitted case revisions ready for the independent decision.
• Approved Review Decisions — Approved decisions with their source revision, reviewer and reason.

Follow credential review and issuance and investigate uncertain results through corrections and reconciliation.
