Overview

Are you looking to become an assessor at your place of work? Maybe you work as a teacher, a nurse, an electrical engineer, or a business administrator… it doesn’t matter! As long as you hold the CAVA assessor qualification (Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement) and have experience in the area you wish to assess, this NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement will allow you to do so.

CAVA (Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement) is an assessor course and qualification that teaches how to monitor and evaluate vocational skills. The CAVA course is competency-based, and requires students to provide evidence of real-world monitoring and assessment.

During this CAVA course, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of exactly what it takes to become an assessor, learning all about the different types of methods, and the importance of quality assurance. You’ll become confident in assessing learners based on a variety of evidence materials, such as portfolios, witness testimony, direct observation, and more. Even better, this is a transferable qualification, so if you’re fully qualified and experienced in several areas, you can assess them all!

After you’ve completed this CAVA Qualification, you’ll be fully qualified to assess vocational competency for a wide range of qualifications such as RQFs, NVQs, and diplomas. You’ll also be able to complete your course in your own time, at your own pace, so it fits perfectly around work and family commitments.

How is this course assessed or examined?

This course is assessed in two ways:

Tutor-marked assignments (TMAs)
Each unit is followed by a tutor-marked assignment (TMA) which will be completed at the end of each module and marked by your tutor.

You will not be required to take an external exam with this course as your portfolio of evidence is internally assessed by us and externally quality assured by the awarding body. The outcomes for each TMA are Achieved or Not Yet Achieved. Your tutor will provide feedback on your work, and should there be any amendments required, they will outline what is needed for you to complete that assignment.

Observation (included)
This course requires two observations. This means that somebody will need to observe you in practice. This could be in a workplace or a voluntary placement. These practical observations are as follows:

  1. Internal Observation – can be conducted by a qualified person within your placement
  2. External Observation – will be carried out by an Oxbridge Assessor (we’ll visit you)

We offer one complimentary external observation for this course to any student on the UK mainland, which in addition to the internal observation, is enough to complete the course.

Course Outcomes

  • At the end of this CAVA course, you’ll be awarded a formal certificate of achievement from NCFE, the UK’s leading sector specialist in health, care and education. This certificate will state you have passed level 3 certificate in assessing vocational achievement.

    This CAVA level 3 course also carries 15 credits at Level 3.

    Learners who achieve one of these CAVA qualifications could progress to the NCFE Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice.

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.
