At Britannia School of Academics, we pride ourselves on being a pioneer of change so that we can meet the diverse needs of our trainee assessor. Therefore, in response to a huge demand for work placements, we have launched the following scheme:

  • You will be assigned an experienced and professional mentor to ensure effective training arrangements.
  • The placement will allow you to complete a range of assessments and observations that meet the requirement of the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement.
  • Constructive feedback would be provided so that you can improve your assessment practices to meet the industry requirements including expectations of the awarding organisations.
  • You won’t be required to physically attend our premises. The work placement would require that you assess virtually from home.
  • In order to cover the administrative costs of this programme, we will be unable to offer the course at the standard promotional price of our Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement. Therefore, this programme will be offered for £479 - discounted from our normal price of £1,200.
  • Work placements will be offered to assess one of the following courses. The courses have been selected at a basic level so that the trainee assessors with little or no experience of the subject area can still assess the units with little preparation.
  • Focus Awards Level 3 Award in Education and Training
  • Focus Awards Level 1-3 in Customer Service
  • Focus Awards Level 1-3 in Business Administration
  • Focus Awards Level 1-3 in Accountancy
  • Focus Awards Level 3 in Mathematics
  • Focus Awards Level 3 in Literacy
  • Focus Awards Level 1-2 in Employability Skills
  • Focus Awards Level 1-3 Beautician Courses
  • Focus Awards Level 1-3 Health and Social Care

Once you complete your work placement and the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, you will of course be eligible to assess any subject that you so wish. Your choice or allocation of subject for the purpose of this placement in no way impacts your eligibility to assess other subjects in your professional career.

Your placement will start on completion of Unit 1 of your Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement. This allows for trainee assessor to familiarise themselves with the basics of assessments prior to actually assessing the learners.

The start date of the course is flexible, as is the case with all other programmes on offer at Britannia School of Academics. For further information about the course including FAQs, please visit the course page here.

If you wish to complete an assessor award instead of the full certificate, the fee of the package will remain £479. For more information about the different assessor courses, please read this blog or watch this detailed tutorial.
