External labels, original Elaryvo tools. Not copies of those forms.
Some training systems use short names for kinds of observation, discussion or feedback. Elaryvo uses its own assessments. Specific programmes may still require their own official form.
Terminology varies between countries and programmes. The underlying evidence stays separate from one organisation's labels.
