The Level 3 Assessing Vocational Achievement Certificate replaces the A1 Assessors Award and will provide those who carry out assessment of skills or knowledge within their organisation with the opportunity to develop and improve their practice as well as achieve a professional qualification.

This course is developed for those working in accredited learning, non-accredited learning, the NQF and the QCF.

What will I do?

The Level 3 Assessing Vocational Achievement Certificate consists of three units - one knowledge and two competence based units.

  • Understanding the principles and practices of assessment (knowledge based)
  • Assess occupational competence in the work environment (competence based)
  • Assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding (competence based)
.

You will attend two workshops over the period of your course and undertake a series of one to one meetings with your portfolio assessor in order to plan the collection of evidence and compile your portfolio. You will be required to undertake four monitoring observations in your workplace.

The entry qualifications for the Level 3 Assessing Vocational Achievement Certificate are a level 3 qualification in the area you wish to assess and experience within the area.
