Qualification

Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment

Regulated by Ofqual

Description

Over 19 years - do you want to become an assessor in a vocational training setting or in the workplace. Then this theory unit could make you more attractive to the prospective employer. It's one unit from the suite of assessor units, the others being actual assessing of competence in the workplace and assessessing vocationally related achievement. The Unit doesn't qualify you as a full assessor but it's a compulsory unit to gain the full qualification. The theory unit is completed via distance support and by researching a course reference book which will be supplied to you. (Value £16.50). You will need to research and write up the answers to 25 separate pieces of performance criteria that make up the unit. When you start I can go through the unit with you on Zoom if that will help you. Achieving this unit would encourage a Registered Centre to put you on their books as a trainee assessor, opening the door to work as a trainee assessor and the opportunity to complete the further units as appropriate. Note this unit can also be credited via RPL toward the Level 3 Award in Education and Training should you wish to achieve that teaching award in the future. (I also supply that award).

You will be registered for this award with either QNUK or Highfield.

If you apply yourself you should be able to complete this unit quite quickly.

A electronic and verifiable unit certificate will be issued by the Awarding Organisation once the unit is completed.

(If you are within a commute of me (I'm Warrington in the Northwest) then additional assessor units are also possible eg: Vocational Assessor or Workplace Comptence Assessor, or both, you could qualify as a full assessor for NVQ/apprenticeships etc. You would need access to at least 2 learners though which you can assess.

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.
