Description

This Assessment Skills & Practice – Level 3 course consists of seven structured lectures followed by an assessment, each introducing a core area of assessment knowledge and professional awareness.

The course begins with an introduction to assessment in vocational and learning environments, including awareness of commonly used vocational assessment structures found in education and training environments, without providing regulated framework training. Assessment methods and techniques explore different approaches to assessing learning, including observation, questioning, and evidence review.

Gathering and evaluating evidence focuses on understanding types of evidence, evidence validity, and decision-making principles used in assessment contexts. Assessment criteria and standards introduce the role of benchmarks, consistency, and fairness in assessment decisions.

Addressing diverse learner needs explores inclusive assessment principles, equality considerations, and strategies to support learners with differing needs, presented at an awareness level only. Legal and ethical considerations examine professional responsibilities, data protection awareness, confidentiality, and ethical conduct in assessment-related activities.

Self-assessment and continuous improvement focus on reflective practice, feedback use, and ongoing professional development related to assessment support roles. The course concludes with an assessment designed to evaluate learners’ understanding of assessment principles and practices.

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.
