This Certificate qualifies you to be an assessor for NVQ and other competency-based courses. You are only eligible to do this course if you assess candidates in their workplace as well as at a training centre. The award is for practitioners who assess the achievement of competence in a work environment using the following assessment methods: observation, examining work products, oral questioning and discussion, use of others (such as witnesses), learner statements and prior learning.
You will learn techniques in assessing competence in a workplace. This includes vocational skills, knowledge and understanding of the work environment. You will receive a half-day induction in the workplace and then use online learning to achieve the qualification. You will be visited in your workplace in order to observe your practice. The qualification can be done at your own pace but we would aim for you to complete it within twelve months.
