Verification
Consider verification (documented and signed by verifier and/or assessor) as a method of gathering evidence. This is particularly valid where the assessment and gathering of evidence is based on demonstration of practical competence, or is naturally occurring over a period of time.
Verification can be provided by any person who works closely with the candidate, has sufficient relevant subject expertise, and understands the requirements of the particular assessment.
For example, a verifier could be the workplace supervisor or manager and the assessor could be a teacher/tutor/workplace assessor. Note that the assessor, not the verifier, is responsible for the final judgement decision.
