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

Level 3 (CAVA) states that part of the course involves assessing 2 students. Where do I find the 2 students to assess?

Answer:

Provider

Britannia School of Academics Ltd

Britannia School of Academics is a UK based training provider, focusing on delivering courses for education professionals. As educators ourselves, we found that often training providers lack the flexibility that suits most educators when it comes to undertaking courses. Either there is an unsuitable schedule, a lack of self-study materials, or tutors that have less knowledge about the course topics than you do. The above frustrations led to the launch of BSA- an online training provider of education and training courses, with completely flexible study, great material, and knowledgeable tutor support- all at a very appealing price point.
