Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the work environment

A two unit Award for Assessors who are assessing occupational competence in the workplace primarily using naturally occurring evidence.

VQAS take a carefully planned and structured approach to the training and assessment of this qualification which includes:

• Two half day training sessions
• A workbook through which Learners can explore and demonstrate their knowledge and understanding
• The inspection of assessment records
• The observation of the trainee Assessor working with two of their Learners
• Professional discussions
• Witness testimony from the Trainee Assessor’s Internal Quality Assurer, and if necessary
• Assessor Set Questions

NB To undertake this Award Assessor-Candidates will need to have a qualified Assessor to check and countersign their assessment in the workplace, however it may be that VQAS can provide this service.

Using internet technology this qualification can now be delivered remotely.

The fee for this Award may vary according to particular circumstances but a guide price would be £1950 per Assessor Candidate. Fees negotiable for larger groups of Learners.
