6 Trainee Exam
• The CDM, with the assistance of Alex, has written an examination to be taken by trainees prior to their qualification
• The constitutional issues of implementing such procedure were deemed
to be non-existent
• The tone of the exam was found to be too serious, and the CDM will
revise the format of the assessment
• Some DMs believed an oral examination was more appropriate. The
CDM and some others pointedly disagreed
• The CDM will administer the assessment to selected DMs for
moderation purposes on the upcoming Edinburgh trip
• These results will help better shape the content of the exam, and ensure the questions set are appropriate
• After moderation, the intention is to implement the assessment next term
