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. Most training centres require individuals to hold the Level 3 CAVA qualification before assessing qualifications in the Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE) sectors. The Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement is regulated by Ofqual (UK) and is delivered 100% online, with dedicated tutor support available throughout the learning journey.
Note: While prior experience in assessing is not required, learners must have access to at least two candidates to conduct their practical assessments as part of the course.
For those who do not wish to complete the full Level 3 Certificate, the Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment is widely accepted by employers. This alternative qualification is quicker and more cost-effective to complete. For further details, please refer to our blog.
