Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement

The Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement is intended for those who are required to assess both occupational competence in the work environment and vocational knowledge, skills and behaviours in a workshop, classroom or other training environment rather than assessing competence in a work environment.

Our 3-day CAVA programme is accredited by TQUK, following their Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement - Qualification Specification.

• individuals who are not currently assessing but who can meet the practice requirements, including the observed and assessed practice requirements of the qualification
• individuals who are currently assessing (including those who have just begun teaching and training) who can meet the practice requirements, including the observed and assessed practice requirements of the qualification
• individuals currently working as teachers or trainers who wish to achieve an assessing qualification.

The CAVA programme comprises of three mandatory core modules (15 Credits).

• Module One: Understanding the principles and practices of assessment (this module is also part of the Award in Education and Training)
• Module Two: Assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding
• Module Three: Assess occupational competence in the work environment

The qualification requires a minimum of 6-8 hours on placement.

There will be 8 formal assessing practice observations. Each observation must be a minimum of 30 minutes and conducted by your tutor and/or subject specialist/pastoral support mentor.

An online portfolio of evidence, including long answer questions, assessing practice observations, and evidence of teaching knowledge, skills and behaviours.

Learners must meet the following minimum criteria:

• 18 years of age and above
• Able to demonstrate an ability to study at level 3
• Do not have a criminal background which prevents them from working as a assessor/trainer with young people or vulnerable adults. There may be a requirement by the employer for learners to be checked by the disclosure and barring service. The learner is responsible for seeking advice from their employer regarding this.

The aim of the course is to give candidates the skills and knowledge to guide others through their learning process with constructive and accurate feedback. Assessing is an ever-growing field and this qualification is likely to open up several employment opportunities.

It is designed for both college and the public and private training industry and covers the generic assessing knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required to become an effective teacher/trainer or assessor
