Hi Further to the discussion on the video recording of speaking and listening exams, I have just received a letter from the head of vocational assessment at Edexcel sent out to all the quality nominees. It states that after Dec 2011 only video evidence will be accepted and that it is for the purpose of identification of learners. Up until that date audio evidence will be accepted. I still question why it is essential to video learners for the purpose of identification for Edexcel exams only; all our learners are known to us and their identity checked at enrolment as I am sure is the case with all bona-fide providers. I appreciate that bogus providers need to be stopped but is this really the right way of doing it?
