Overview

What is a TAQA Award?

A TAQA Award is an award in Training, Assessment and Quality Assurance. This award replaces the old A1/A2 Assessor awards.


How long is the course?

The course is for 13 weeks. Out of the 13 weeks you will attend a centre for four weeks to study the TAQA and assess people. The remaining nine weeks will involve practicals at a work place assessing or in contact with two learners.

Where can I work when I have my award?

When you have qualified, you can find work in colleges of Higher Education or you could work for a training provider. Other options are becoming a self-employed assessor or you could do the Award in Education and Training course and become a teacher in a college.

Work at your own pace.

Candidates work at their own pace and can complete the award in two weeks to twelve months, with an average being three-months. This award does not require 10-12 weeks attendance at a college, so is very suitable for people who work shifts. The online system provides 24/7 access to the assignments and assessor feedback.

All of your assignments are completed and stored online and, as such, can be accessed from any venue with access to the internet. This means you can complete your award from work or home.

There is no requirement to write an essay. The Award is broken down into small bite sized chunks making it achievable for busy people.

Our assessors recognise that each candidate is unique and plan person-centred progress throughout with regular access to a personal-assessor. This is ideal for those who are nervous, or who have not completed formal education for a while, or who are just simply busy.

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.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
