What is a course Witness and what will they do?
A Witness testimony may be used as evidence to support the assessment of elements of the portfolio, where specified as appropriate. The role of the Witness is to directly observe the Learner in the workplace and provide testimony as to their competence in meeting the relevant Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria.
Witnesses must:
- Have sufficient knowledge and occupational competence in the area in which they are witnessing
- Hold a qualification which is recognised by the GDC for registration as either a Dentist, Dental Nurse or other DCP with competence in the relevant areas of practice and hold current registration on the appropriate GDC register
- Be able to demonstrate ongoing occupational competence in the area which they are witnessing.
Witnesses should also have previous experience of working with the Learner they are witnessing. It is recommended for Witnesses to have worked with the Learner on two prior occasions.
