There are various options within Assessing and it is important to know what your aim is in relation to what you will be assessing to choose the correct qualification. See below for more information.
The full Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement qualification is an online distance learning course and is aimed at those who wish to become an assessor in both occupational and vocational skills.
Occupational skills are related to work-based environments, such as someone who needs to be assessed as an apprentice, and vocational skills are related to classroom-based environments, such as someone who needs to be assessed on a commercial course.
On successful completion, it will fully qualify you to work as an assessor to assess in your area of expertise.

You will need to be occupationally competent in the area you wish to assess and to complete the qualification you need to have access to a minimum of two learners who are completing a course.
Your course is delivered online, therefore, internet access is required and access to a video camera to record a practical observation.
You will need access to a minimum of 2 learners which you must arrange yourself.
You will need to be observed once with each learner. You can do this internally by getting a qualified assessor to observe you, or we will observe you via video evidence.
The full assessor qualification on average takes 2-3 months to complete, but this is dependent on how often you have access to you learners. If you can see your learners more than 1-2 times per month you will be able to achieve it in a quicker time. The time it takes is up to you, so if you want to complete it in 2 weeks, go for it!
