Overview
A supervisor is accountable for what a team does when nobody senior is watching. That accountability is exercised through written instructions, briefings, spot checks and honest reporting to the client.
This is a proposed Level 4 award on the ASIEA qualification ladder, intended as the supervisory destination for experienced Level 3 officers.
