New Assessor Award/Certificate
Aimed at:
Learners from age 19 with sufficient capability at the right level to undertake the learning
and assessment.
The Level 3 Assessor Qualifications have been developed by Lifelong Learning UK and are the new QCF replacement for the A1 and A2 qualifications. The new qualifications for assessors introduce new dimensions to the assessment of knowledge when compared to the previous A1 Award and, the new qualifications offer more flexibility in terms of allowing assessment of candidates in a variety of learning environments.
There are now four Assessor Qualifications which encourage progression, for instance the first Award is aimed at those who intend to gain an understanding of Assessing rather than practice as an Assessor.
The new Assessor qualification is now broken down into 3 units (which each carry credits) and, depending on the combination of units (and therefore number of credits gained) offers you the opportunity of gaining either an Award (9 credits) or a Certificate in Assessing (15 credits).

Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement is intended for those who assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in environments other than the work environment (e.g. a workshop / classroom / other training environment) (9 credits)
