View Sample CertificateThe Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (RQF) is the perfect choice for those who desire to assess learners on accredited courses. Previously, if you wished to become an assessor you would have to accomplish the D32 and D33 modules, which were later replaced by the A1 assessor award. That is why people commonly recognise this course by the name of A1 Assessor qualification. Years later, the A1 qualification was replaced by the CAVA course from the current set of qualifications, commonly known as TAQA (Training, Assessment and Quality Assurance) Qualification. Most training centres will require you to have an assessor qualification before you begin assessing FE and HE sectors’ qualifications. To enrol in the course, no previous work experience or skills are required. Note: If you do not wish to take the full certificate, you can opt for Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment which is both time and cost effective.
