Assessors must have experience and/or qualifications in the activity chosen by young people.
They must be suitably skilled to assess a Participant's activity, write a report at the completion of that activity, and sign off a Participants Award to verify their completion.
An Assessor can assess more than one Participant. They may also be qualified to assess across multiple activities and/or Sections.
An Assessor may be required to meet certification or qualification requirements if their activity is bound by a State/Territory or National accreditation requirement.
A Coordinator is also able to be an Assessor.
Generally Participants and Award Coordinators are jointly responsible for finding Assessors, however it is the responsibility of The Duke of Ed Coordinators to check and approve ALL Assessors and ensure they are suitable.
In some circumstances a Coordinator, on behalf of the Licensed Operator, may create a pool of recognised Assessors for popular activities previously undertaken by their Participants.
