£800 £499

Unit Structure

Overview

Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (previously known as A1 assessor course) is perfect for those wishing to assess learners’ competence for accredited courses. The A1 assessor course is an industry-standard qualification. Before the A1 assessor course, if you wanted to train to become an assessor, you would complete the D32 and D33 units. Later, these D units were replaced by the A1 Assessor Awards. Finally, the A1 qualification was replaced by the current suite of qualifications, which are commonly referred to as TAQA training (Training Assessment and Quality Assurance) Qualifications.

Most training centres would expect you to have a CAVA assessor qualification before you start assessing qualifications in the FE and HE sectors. This Level 3 CAVA course equips learners with the skills required to assess vocational skills and knowledge in any workplace or classroom environment, regardless of their subject expertise, therefore, you are not required to have any prior qualification or experience to start this Level 3 CAVA course.  This course is accredited by UK OFQUAL and delivered in a classroom setting.

Scope of this Qualification

This level 3 CAVA course is suitable to become an NVQ assessor for the industry sectors such as Hairdressing, Beauty Industry & Make Up, Engineering, Manufacturing & Construction, Early years, NHS training, Child & Health Care, Business Administration & Management, Hospitality & Catering, Oil & Gas Field, Private Security, Apprenticeships, Health & Social Care, Educational Sectors and Freelance Assessor etc.

Duration and Delivery

Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement course will be delivered over 3 days.

Starting from Unit 1, learners will be given a thorough overview of key assessment aspects: functions, types, principles, assessor responsibilities, legislation, quality assurance, feedback, and CPD value. They will also be given an in-depth analysis of assessment methods, how to assess via various assessment methods, and make an assessment decision using a quiz activity accordingly.Top of Form

In the next session, in Unit 2, the learners will be educated on planning the assessments for occupational competence in the work environment, followed by several activities like practicing professional discussion, direct observation, and other assessment methods. Learners will also be able to know how to record assessment decisions and write reflective accounts.

In the last session, with the introduction of Unit 3 and the assessment plan, learners will attain proficiency in assessing vocational skills, knowledge, and understanding within a vocational setting. Learners will also receive a thorough understanding of recording assessment decisions and writing reflective accounts, followed by a quiz.

How do I reach the place?

Our training centre is conveniently located and easily accessible by both public transportation and private vehicles. Use this link to find your way to the training centre: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9ed1DcGCS87uecU8A.

What is the maximum class size?

The maximum class size is typically limited to 20 learners to ensure personalised attention and an optimal learning environment.

What if I am interested in attending live classes through distant learning?

If you’re interested in attending live classes, you can opt our distance learning program that offers live virtual classes on Zoom where you can participate remotely in real-time. These classes provide the same level of interaction, instruction, and support as traditional in-person classes, allowing you to engage with instructors and fellow learners from the comfort of your own space. Kindly visit Focus Awards Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (RQF) Distant Learning for more information.

Is there an option for completing the course entirely online without attending any classes?

Yes, we offer a fully online version of the course through our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Moodle. In this format, learners have the flexibility to study at their own pace without the need to attend any classes. There are no set start/end/submission dates, and learners can access course materials such as study resources, assignment briefs, guides, templates, and sample portfolios directly on Moodle. Additionally, learners can easily communicate with their tutor/assessor through Moodle, providing a seamless learning experience and support system. Kindly visit  Focus Awards Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (RQF) for more information.

What teaching methods and resources are used in the lesson delivery?

We utilise a variety of teaching methods and resources in our lessons to enhance the learning experience. This includes interactive PowerPoint presentations, carefully curated content from reputable sources, quiz, group discussions, role play and other activities as relevant.

What if I miss any session? Can it be rescheduled?

Unfortunately, no. However, you will have the video recording of the session readily available on our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) – Moodle.

What equipment do I need to participate in the lessons?

To fully participate in the lessons, learners MUST bring their laptops, charger for the laptop, a notepad, and pens or pencils to take notes.

Is there any required coursework or assessments outside of class time?

Yes, learners will need to complete and submit assignments for all three units outside of class time. The class sessions primarily focus on explaining concepts, guiding learners through course content, and practicing using different assessment methods to prepare learners to carry out their actual assessments for Units 2 and 3.

How/where do I submit my coursework?

Learners will submit their coursework through our virtual learning environment (VLE) called Moodle for assessment and feedback. Handwritten assignments submitted in class will not be accepted for assessment.

Do I have to submit the coursework in the same week?

No, learners are not required to submit their coursework in the same week. After the classes, learners will have a month to submit their coursework for all three Units on Moodle. During this time, our assessors will be available to provide formative feedback for draft work.

How many resubmissions are allowed? Will it affect my grade?

There’s no restriction; you can resubmit assignments as many times as needed until you achieve a Pass grade. Moodle (VLE) allows for an unlimited number of submissions, so the number of submissions does not affect your course in any way.

What if I am unable to submit the assignments within a month?

After the one-month duration expires, you will need to re-register by paying a re-registration fee of £149. This is to cover the additional costs we incur, such as VLE and tutor/assessor fees. Please note that this re-registration fee will only extend the duration of your assignment submission; you will not be allowed to attend any further sessions.

Can I progress through the units at my own pace, or are there set deadlines for each unit?

While there are no specific deadlines for completing each unit, it’s important to note that all coursework must be finished within one month after the classes. Additionally, it’s highly recommended that learners start with Unit 1, which covers theoretical aspects, before moving on to Units 2 and 3 (which focus on practical applications). This sequential approach ensures that learners have a solid foundation of knowledge from Unit 1 to effectively apply during the practical exercises in Units 2 and 3.

Will I be able to cover/perform the practical parts of Units 2 and 3 during the class sessions?

No, since simulation is not allowed in this course, the learners won’t be able to complete the practical part of the course (i.e. carry out their assessments) during the on-site sessions. Instead, they will practice using various assessment methods with their peers in class to prepare for their actual assessments. These assessments will be conducted at their own time with their actual learners, ensuring real-world application of the knowledge gained.

Is financial aid available for tuition?

Currently, we do not offer financial aid for tuition. However, we strive to keep our prices competitive and affordable, ensuring that our courses remain accessible to all learners.

Do you offer instalment plan for course fee?

Yes, we offer an instalment plan for the course fee. Payments are divided into three instalments:

  • 33% at the time of booking,
  • 33% at the time of the first session, and
  • 34% upon completion before certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the classes held?

All classes are held at our training centre located at the Suite 1, Industrial House, 16-17 Grand Arcade, London N12 0EH, United Kingdom.

How do I reach the place?

Our training centre is conveniently located and easily accessible by both public transportation and private vehicles. Use this link to find your way to the training centre: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9ed1DcGCS87uecU8A.

What is the maximum class size?

The maximum class size is typically limited to 20 learners to ensure personalised attention and an optimal learning environment.

What if I am interested in attending live classes through distant learning?

If you’re interested in attending live classes, you can opt our distance learning program that offers live virtual classes on Zoom where you can participate remotely in real-time. These classes provide the same level of interaction, instruction, and support as traditional in-person classes, allowing you to engage with instructors and fellow learners from the comfort of your own space. Kindly visit Focus Awards Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (RQF) Distant Learning for more information.

Is there an option for completing the course entirely online without attending any classes?

Yes, we offer a fully online version of the course through our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Moodle. In this format, learners have the flexibility to study at their own pace without the need to attend any classes. There are no set start/end/submission dates, and learners can access course materials such as study resources, assignment briefs, guides, templates, and sample portfolios directly on Moodle. Additionally, learners can easily communicate with their tutor/assessor through Moodle, providing a seamless learning experience and support system. Kindly visit  Focus Awards Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (RQF) for more information.

What teaching methods and resources are used in the lesson delivery?

We utilise a variety of teaching methods and resources in our lessons to enhance the learning experience. This includes interactive PowerPoint presentations, carefully curated content from reputable sources, quiz, group discussions, role play and other activities as relevant.

What if I miss any session? Can it be rescheduled?

Unfortunately, no. However, you will have the video recording of the session readily available on our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) – Moodle.

What equipment do I need to participate in the lessons?

To fully participate in the lessons, learners MUST bring their laptops, charger for the laptop, a notepad, and pens or pencils to take notes.

Is there any required coursework or assessments outside of class time?

Yes, learners will need to complete and submit assignments for all three units outside of class time. The class sessions primarily focus on explaining concepts, guiding learners through course content, and practicing using different assessment methods to prepare learners to carry out their actual assessments for Units 2 and 3.

How/where do I submit my coursework?

Learners will submit their coursework through our virtual learning environment (VLE) called Moodle for assessment and feedback. Handwritten assignments submitted in class will not be accepted for assessment.

Do I have to submit the coursework in the same week?

No, learners are not required to submit their coursework in the same week. After the classes, learners will have a month to submit their coursework for all three Units on Moodle. During this time, our assessors will be available to provide formative feedback for draft work.

How many resubmissions are allowed? Will it affect my grade?

There’s no restriction; you can resubmit assignments as many times as needed until you achieve a Pass grade. Moodle (VLE) allows for an unlimited number of submissions, so the number of submissions does not affect your course in any way.

What if I am unable to submit the assignments within a month?

After the one-month duration expires, you will need to re-register by paying a re-registration fee of £149. This is to cover the additional costs we incur, such as VLE and tutor/assessor fees. Please note that this re-registration fee will only extend the duration of your assignment submission; you will not be allowed to attend any further sessions.

Can I progress through the units at my own pace, or are there set deadlines for each unit?

While there are no specific deadlines for completing each unit, it’s important to note that all coursework must be finished within one month after the classes. Additionally, it’s highly recommended that learners start with Unit 1, which covers theoretical aspects, before moving on to Units 2 and 3 (which focus on practical applications). This sequential approach ensures that learners have a solid foundation of knowledge from Unit 1 to effectively apply during the practical exercises in Units 2 and 3.

Will I be able to cover/perform the practical parts of Units 2 and 3 during the class sessions?

No, since simulation is not allowed in this course, the learners won’t be able to complete the practical part of the course (i.e. carry out their assessments) during the on-site sessions. Instead, they will practice using various assessment methods with their peers in class to prepare for their actual assessments. These assessments will be conducted at their own time with their actual learners, ensuring real-world application of the knowledge gained.

Is financial aid available for tuition?

Currently, we do not offer financial aid for tuition. However, we strive to keep our prices competitive and affordable, ensuring that our courses remain accessible to all learners.

Do you offer instalment plan for course fee?

Yes, we offer an instalment plan for the course fee. Payments are divided into three instalments:

  • 33% at the time of booking,
  • 33% at the time of the first session, and
  • 34% upon completion before certification.
