The document outlines the process for assessing applications to the AoC Beacon Awards. It describes that specialist assessors coordinated by the AoC Beacon Awards Director will be responsible for assessing applications. Normally two assessors will review new awards, while established awards can be reviewed by one assessor or an assessor paired with a trainee. The assessment process has three stages - shortlisting applications, visiting shortlisted colleges, and a final decision. Winning colleges are invited to nominate team members to become trained assessors.
