Verify the QualificationThe Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement is considered to be an entry qualification for people looking to assess learners on accredited courses. Most training centres would expect that you have this assessor qualification before you start assessing in the FE and HE sectors. You are not required to have any prior qualification or experience to start this level 3 course. This NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) assessor course will assist you regardless of your subject expertise, whether its security training or first aid. The course is accredited by UK OFQUAL, and is delivered 100% online.
This course will qualify you to assess learners in a classroom setting or a simulated environment. It is perfect for you if you are involved in a setting where activities such as tests, portfolios, presentations, quizzes, question-and-answer sessions, simulations, or role-playing, etc., are required. Appropriate for aspirants working in a conventional school or college environment. This course is also suitable for vocations in which the assessments are conducted in a learning environment. This includes assessors for functional skills, corporate learning and development, first aid, training & teaching institutes, private security SIA trainers etc.
This course is designed to be completed online at the pace that suits you the best. This fast track level 3 assessor course can take as little as 4 days or up to 4 months to become an assessor. The level 3 assessor qualification is delivered through our virtual learning environment (VLE). Our online tutor support is there to facilitate you to achieve your success rate accordingly.
All units within this assessor qualification are internally assessed by our qualified assessors and externally verified by the awarding organisation. The assessment takes the form of written assignments and demonstration of assessment skills through video recording and portfolio of evidence, detailed guidance for which will be provided by the tutor.
Successful completion of this assessor course enables learners to proceed to the full Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (for which you could gain RPL for 2/3 units and thus only do 1 unit for completion), the Level 4 Certificate in Leading the IQA of Assessment Processes and Practice and the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training. This level 3 assessor course will also help you enhance your career profile and become an apprenticeship assessor (although some centres may request that you have the full CAVA qualification).
Unit 2 is practical and expects that you assess two learners studying for a primarily theoretical course.
Most of the tasks would be attempted through essay-style written accounts and reflections of your own assessment practices. Some of the tasks would require submission of relevant work such as audio or video recordings as evidence that you assessed learners in a classroom or training environment.
