Based on an understanding of how assessments are used, develop a national voluntary training programme for test designers/senior examiners. The training programme would focus on the effects of using various language forms and constructions on candidates. The training programme should be short enough to be manageable but substantial enough to provide test designers/senior examiners with a clear insight into the ways that language can influence the outcomes of assessment. This could be a one day course in the first instance with a possible follow up day and some form of accreditation.

(Please note that Ofqual does not intend to run or fund any national training programmes.)
