The Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (RQF), commonly known as the Level 3 CAVA Assessor qualification, replaces the A1 Assessor course and is widely recognised as the industry standard for those seeking to assess learners in accredited courses. Previously, individuals looking to qualify as assessors would complete the D32 and D33 units, which were later replaced by the A1 Assessor Awards. Eventually, the A1 qualification was phased out in favour of the current suite of qualifications, often referred to as TAQA (Training, Assessment, and Quality Assurance) training.
This qualification equips learners with the essential skills to assess vocational skills and knowledge in educational or training settings, as well as to evaluate occupational competence in a workplace or professional environment.

Lauren Willetts –
I recently completed the L3 CAVA. I’m not the most academic person, and I got stuck in a few of ACs multiple times, but thanks to the Support Tutors I had, they made it simpler for me to grasp. I finished the course in record time. Would highly recommend Britannia.
Kirsty Pestana –
Britannia School is an incredible training provider. The support team made sure I obtained all of the important material and received clear feedback in order to meet the requirements of the L3 CAVA I chose for certification.
David Smith –
Did my L3 CAVA with them and I’ve had experience with online learning institutes before, but I found Britannia far more professional and supportive.
Stacy –
BSA is an incredible on-line training provider that made sure I obtained all of the important material and received clear feedback in order to meet the requirements of the L3 CAVA I chose for certification.
Great resources, quick feedback and timely support during my course. Thanks a lot. Way to go BSA!
john walker –
I recently registered myself with BSA and was sent the logins almost immediately. I found the training provider to be fast and efficient. The registration process was easy and trouble-free. Looking forward to studying assessor course with them as well after completing my AET course.
Jastan –
I would highly recommend Britannia School of Academics above others because they have been so kind to me. I had such a huge issue in the middle of my course in preparing assessment plans and they supported me throughout. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.
Hayley Boden –
I completed the Level 3 Assessors course with Britannia School and cannot recommend them enough. I had a very supportive tutor who was quick to get back to me and help me with any queries. I will be enrolling with them again to complete my Level 5 teaching diploma.
Jemma –
I’ve recently completed my Level 3 certificate in assessing vocational achievement. I can definitely recommend Britannia School. My tutor was very supportive and quick to answer and queries I had. I paid the extra fee to have two students to assess provided for me which was an easy and efficient process. All feedback was helpful and professional. I will choose Britannia School for anymore online course i may do.
Fiona Jordan –
My tutor was supportive and quick to offer assistance. Feedback was succinct and helpful.
Joann (verified owner) –
I have just completed my level 3 certificate in assessing vocational achievement. The support I received along the way from my tutor was great. She was always on hand whenever I needed any assistance and was able to break things down that were unclear to begin with, as well as providing me with alternative assessment methods when particular ones could not be used within my workplace for specific reasons.
I would definitely recommend this training provider to anyone wishing to complete a training course, as it provides everything you will need.
