ISRS Assessor

This course provides participants with the knowledge to conduct an ISRS assessment.

Course description
ISRS Assessor is a mandatory course for individuals who wish to conduct an ISRS assessment. ISRS has a unique structure and quantified scoring methodology and requires specific assessment training. The course provides an overview of the 600 questions in the ISRS workbook and gives participants an opportunity to practice scoring the questions to reach the required standard of consistency. The course also explains the assessment process, how to plan and scope an assessment, behaviour during the assessment and reporting using the ISRS Summit assessment software.

Participants practice scoring questions using anonymous real life case study evidence. Scores are then discussed in the group and compared against the model answer in order to practice consistent scoring.
