You will learn that all learners learn at different speeds and have different starting points than each other. The average learner takes around 160 hours to complete these qualifications regardless of which study method. These hours include reading about the subject, watching lessons and completing assessments. 

Depending on your existing knowledge, experience, and other commitments, you could condense the self-study into weeks or months, to suit your circumstances.

Effective assessment is crucial to ensuring our learners not only understand the material but can also apply their knowledge in real-world teaching and assessing scenarios. Each component of the TAQA 99 program is designed to evaluate your understanding, skills, and practical application through a variety of assessment methods. Additionally, we offer unique opportunities to work with our assessors on live qualifications, giving you direct access to real learners to complete your assessments. Here’s how each course within the program is assessed:

1. Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET)

📋 Assessment Method:

• Written Assignments: You’ll complete written assignments that demonstrate your understanding of teaching theory, lesson planning, and the roles and responsibilities of an educator. These assignments assess your ability to plan, prepare, and deliver inclusive teaching sessions.
• Micro-Teaching Session: A critical component of the AET assessment is the micro-teaching session, where you’ll deliver a short lesson to your peers. This practical exercise allows you to demonstrate your teaching skills in a controlled environment, with valuable feedback provided to help you improve.

2. Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA)

📋 Assessment Method:

• Practical Assessments: To earn the CAVA qualification, you’ll be observed assessing learners in both simulated and real-world environments. This hands-on assessment ensures that you can apply assessment principles effectively, whether in a classroom or workplace setting.
• Portfolio of Evidence: You’ll compile a portfolio that includes records of your assessments, feedback provided to learners, and reflections on your assessment practices. This portfolio will showcase your ability to assess vocational skills, knowledge, and understanding comprehensively.
• Live Assessment Opportunities: Through TAQA 99, you have the unique opportunity to work alongside our qualified assessors on live qualifications. This gives you direct access to real learners, allowing you to complete your assessments in a real-world context, ensuring that your skills are honed in authentic educational settings.

3. Level 4 Award in Internal Quality Assurance (IQA)

📋 Assessment Method:

• Quality Assurance Activities: You’ll be assessed on your ability to carry out internal quality assurance processes. This includes observing assessors, providing them with feedback, and ensuring that assessment practices meet required standards. These activities will be conducted in real or simulated environments.
• Reflective Reports: As part of your assessment, you’ll complete reflective reports that discuss your experiences in monitoring and supporting assessors. These reports evaluate your ability to maintain and improve the quality of assessment within an organisation.
• Portfolio of Evidence: You’ll build a portfolio that includes documentation of your quality assurance activities, feedback to assessors, and reflections on how you’ve ensured the consistency and fairness of assessments.
• Live Quality Assurance Practice: Similar to the CAVA component, you’ll have the chance to engage in live quality assurance practices. Working with our assessors, you’ll gain access to actual assessments, allowing you to practice and refine your quality assurance skills in a live setting.
