Agency Moderator Training

Following on from Youth Achievement Awards Induction Training, this training is for workers looking to take on the role of Agency Moderator to quality assure the Awards within their Operating Agency.

The session, delivered by ASDAN, aims to help Agency Moderators effectively carry out their Quality Assurance role within the groups they are supporting to complete the Awards, helping them to understand the requirements of young people completing each Award level; understand quality assurance and accountability in relation to the Awards; and to be aware of the common issues that arise when moderating the Awards. This training is delivered around an External Moderation Event, which it uses as a practical training exercise.
