Awarding Body: Focus Awards
Qualification Number: 601/6104/8
Focus Awards is an Ofqual regulated Awarding Organisation. This guarantees that all of their qualifications conform to a high standard.
The 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.

Tom –
Upon reflection, after completing the CAVA course, I can honestly recommend the Britannia training centre platform. I say this making particular reference to my amazing tutor Hazel. This teacher without hesitation is everything you could wish for from a guide/tutor/teacher.

Great communication, very prompt replies to all my enquiries with all the relevant information. Superbly helpful and a confident manner. A very pleasant transaction.
Rashidat –
Britannia training centre is an amazing platform to develop professional skills. I am fortunate to meet my great tutors; Maria and Ana. Their detailed and prompt feedback helped me a lot in essays writing within my field which is beyond CAVA. I love to learn more from Maria. Love Britannia Training centre.
Catherine Bisotto –
Mira was a brilliant tutor and gave specific feedback which really helped me complete my CAVA quickly. The website is great and the templates save so much time. I would really recommend them to anyone wanting an efficient process with excellent support.
