You must record directly to either tape or CD, in practical terms I think this means cassette tape, you can use two cheap (relatively) cassette recorders. Some people have suggested using a separate microphone (x2) rather than the built-in ones.

I'm sorry, but neither of these is an acceptable device for recording an assessment.

Two reasons;
The DWP require recordings to be made direct to tape or CD.
The DWP do not allow recordings to digital devices.
