Overview

The Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, also known as the Level 3 CAVA Assessor course (or TAQA), replaced the A1 course, and is the standard qualification for those looking to assess learners for accredited courses. Most training centres would expect you to have the CAVA assessor qualification before you start assessing in the FE and HE sectors. You are not required to have any prior qualifications or experience to start this CAVA certificate, although you will need access to learners to assess to meet the practical requirements of units 2 and 3 of this course. This NVQ assessor course will assist you regardless of your subject expertise, whether you teach music or coach people. The course is accredited by UK OFQUAL and is delivered 100% online with tutor support.

The Awarding Body registration fee is included in the list price.

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.
