Overview

The Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, also known as the Level 3 CAVA Assessor course replaces A1 course and is considered an industry standard qualification for people looking to assess learners for accredited courses. Most training centres would expect you to have CAVA assessor qualification before you start assessing in the FE and HE sectors. Unit 2 is practical and expects that you assess two learners studying for a course that is work based. Unit 3 is also practical and expects that you assess two learners studying for a course that is mostly theoretical in nature. This NVQ assessor course will assist you regardless of your subject expertise, whether you teach music or coach people. The course is regulated by UK OFQUAL, and is delivered 100% online. We will offer support to you.

CRW asked:

I am not working at the moment. If I approach a training provider and they agree for me to access students for the assessor to assess me is that OK?

Answer:

Hi CRW, Yes that is fine. We also provide you with the work placement offer along with the course at an additional cost. In this, we provide you with the learners whose work needs to be marked. Regards, BSA Team

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
