Episode Four: Making Sense of Assessment Objectives in V Certs

In this episode, we explore how the assessment objectives (AOs) shape the way V Cert qualifications are assessed. We break down what each objective is designed to measure and how they’re applied across internal and external assessments. 

You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how the V Cert objectives ‘work’ in practice—what they look like in learner responses, how they link to command verbs, and why they matter for both teaching and marking. 

Whether you’re new to V Certs or looking to strengthen your assessment planning, this episode will help you approach the objectives with more clarity and confidence.
