Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement
The full Award required for anyone wishing to become an Assessor.
This qualification is intended for those who assess both occupational competence in the work environment and vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in environments other than the workplace (for example a workshop, classroom or other training environment).
The Award aims to provide the essential knowledge and understanding that assessment staff need, and offer additional units that describe competent practice. This approach gives flexibility and a greater potential to meet the needs of aspiring Assessors. This qualification is for learners aged 19 and above.
