Hi,Unfortunately if this is for PIP then they don't record the assessment for you. You can record it yourself but you'll need permission to do this. You will need to use the appropriate recording devices such as a CD or tape recorder. You must produce 2 identical copies and 1 copy must be handed in at the end of the assessment. As you need to produce 2 identical copies then this means that you'll have to buy 2 of everything so you can record the assessment correctly. You also need to give 3 working days notice if you wish to record your assessment.Dictaphones/laptops and mobile phones are not allowed to be used for recording assessments.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
