A sampling strategy is a document that the centre creates that sets out the frequency of sampling for the qualifications that they intend to deliver. The sampling strategy is normally determined by a risk rating of tutor/assessors and qualifications where the higher the risk the more frequent the sampling takes place.
The risk assigned to the tutor/assessor may determine that every portfolio or course paperwork is sampled, or it may determine that an observation of their performance is appropriate in order to establish whether the risk rating can be reduced.
Further information on sampling strategies is contained within support documentation that is located in the download area where Tutor, Assessor and IQA (TAI) Packs have been created to support your delivery, assessment and internal quality assurance of a qualification.
