What does Risk Rating a Trainer or Assessor mean? | Royal Life Saving Society UK Help Center

The term risk rating is the process of evaluating the risk of each Trainer or Assessor

An Approved Training Centre or Provider Coordinator should conduct a risk rating of each Trainer and Assessor they use to deliver or assess RLSS UK Qualifications. This risk rating should be documented and is based on several things:

A probationary TA.
A newly qualified TA (within their first two years of being signed off as a TA).
Four or more areas of non-compliance were identified in their last IQA.
A new TA to the ATC/P.
Any reported cases of actual malpractice within the ATC/P since their last IQA
A TA who delivers multiple qualifications awarded by RLSS UK/IQL UK or other awarding organisations.
A TA who delivers more than five courses or conducts more than five assessments each year for the ATC/P.
A complaint or appeal successfully logged against them through the ATC/P since their last IQA.
A TA who has not had an IQA conducted on them in the last 2 years due to no activity being delivered or assessed for the ATC/P.

An experienced TA (two+ years after being signed off as a TA).

0-3 area(s) of non-compliance identified in their last IQA.
No reported cases of suspected/ actual malpractice /complaints or appeals.
A TA who delivers less than five courses each year for the individual ATC/P.
