IBPE / Independent Examiners

Independent Examiners

Assessment by Qualified Examiners.

01

Professional requirements

The examiner model calls for qualified professionals with relevant technical and industry experience. Approved appointments and the current public panel are pending confirmation.

  • Relevant professional qualification
  • Demonstrated patisserie experience
  • Technical competence
  • Assessment capability
  • Knowledge of IBPE standards
  • Examiner training
  • Conflict-of-interest compliance

02

Two-examiner principle

Where required by the qualification, practical examinations are assessed independently by two examiners. Their marks are recorded separately before the applicable reconciliation or moderation process. This does not assert a two-examiner requirement for every qualification.

03

Independence and standards

Examiners must understand the applicable standards, declare relevant conflicts and follow the approved assessment process.
