FAQs

The Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement is a recognised qualification for those who want to assess vocational skills and knowledge in various learning environments. This course equips individuals with the skills and knowledge required to become competent assessors. It's a great choice if you aspire to assess vocational achievement in your industry.

Yes, it is! The Level 3 Certificate in Assessment Vocational Achievement is recognised and respected by employers, industry leaders, and awarding bodies. It meets the national standards for assessors and is your ticket to becoming a sought-after professional in the vocational assessment industry.

What is the difference between the CAVA and the UPPA, ACWE, and AVRA qualifications?

The CAVA (Level 3 Certificate in Assessment Vocational Achievement) focuses on assessing vocational skills and knowledge. In contrast, the UPPA (Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment), ACWE (Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment), and AVRA (Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally-Related Achievement) qualifications are specific subsets of the CAVA, designed for different assessment scenarios.

This is the top-assessing qualification.

In which industries is the assessor qualification needed?

The assessor qualification is highly sought-after in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to education, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and information technology. Employers across these sectors require qualified assessors to ensure that their employees meet industry standards and regulations and in particular needed for assessing apprenticeships and NVQs and those in health and social care, early years, construction, security to name a few.

How does AVRA differ from the other assessing qualifications?

The Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement focuses on assessing vocationally related achievement in specific learning environments. It is tailored for assessors who work in environments where vocational skills and knowledge are the primary focus. The CAVA covers a broader range of assessment contexts, and the ACWE focuses specifically on the workplace environment.

If I've completed one unit, can I use Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)?

Yes, you can potentially use Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the units you've already completed. This can help you save time and effort by not having to repeat what you've already mastered.

Do you supply learners for assessment purposes?

Ideally you will have access to 2 learners that can help facilitate your assessments. We can offer access to our learners under the guidance of our assessors to complete your assessments with real learners. You would attend our assessment days which are held every other month. 

What if I don't have access to learners in my current job or environment?

You cannot simulate assessments so you need access to learners. We can help to facilitate this with a small number of learners being able to work with an assessor with live learners through our range of teaching, assessing and IQA courses. 

How long have I got to complete this qualification?

You will have 12-months from the purchase date to complete your course. Should you run over this time, you may be able to apply for special dispensation to extend this time by an additional 3-months or alternatively it is an additional cost of £69 to extend it for a further year. Please note extensions are subject to current qualification requirements and may not always be possible. 

What if I don't have access to learners in my current job or environment?

You cannot simulate assessments so you need access to learners. We don't promise this but may have some learners available for your assessments but is not a guarantee as it depends on your subjects. Ideally you already work in an environment where you can access 2x learners. If not, you should complete the Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment as this will allow you to start assessing and then you can gain the additional units after when you are working.

I recently studied my understanding internal quality assurance and understanding external quality assurance with matt. He was one of the most supportive understanding and kindness tutors I have ever met in my entire life. He is absolutely incredible and so kind and helpful. He truly does care about his students succeeding... and understanding how to best facilitate their development and understanding moving forward. I studied these courses with matt as part of a prerequisite requirement for further training. His true dedication and kindness makes him an incredibly outstanding teacher and his knowledge on teaching is unmatched by any trainer I have ever worked with.He is so kind and patient and he literally wrote a book on how to get the training right and how to help students improve themselves moving forward.I could not have asked for a better teacher if I had tried.Matt is truly amazing and interesting and a such an incredibly kind and supportive teacher.If I could give him 10 stars I totally would but unfortunately the maximum amount is 5 so that’s what I have given him.Thank you so much for helping me through everything and enabling me to progress my learning further. You are truly incredible.I would gladly recommend anyone studying with the education and training academy because of their passion and dedication and support for teacher training.read more
