Awarding Body: Training Qualifications UK (TQUK)
TQUK is the fastest growing Ofqual regulated awarding organisation in the UK. Operating in over 400 centres worldwide, they provide a wide range of vocational qualifications that conform to a high standard, specialising in the areas of first aid, education and training, health and safety, and health and social care.
What you will learn
Below is an outline of the course material you will study:
Unit 1: Unit 1 - Understanding the principles and practices of assessment
Those who undertake this unit will have a better understanding of the function of assessment. A key focus of the unit is to involve the learners in the assessment process so they see it as an integral part of their learning experience.
Unit 2: Unit 2 - Assess occupational competencies in the work environment
This is a performance unit for anyone who assesses in the work environment using methods such as observations, questions and examining products of work.
Unit 3: Unit 3 - Assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding
The aim of this unit is to assess the trainee Assessor’s performance in assessing vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in environments other than the workplace (eg workshops, classrooms or other training environments), and in any other environment using methods such as assignments, projects, simulations and tests.
Course Outcome
At the end of this CAVA course, you’ll be awarded a formal certificate of achievement from TQUK, the UK’s leading sector specialist in health, care and education.
This certificate will state you have passed the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement. Learners who achieve one of these CAVA qualifications could progress to the TQUK Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice.
Examinations and Assessments
his course is assessed in two ways:
Tutor-marked assignments (TMAs)
Each unit is followed by a tutor-marked assignment (TMA) which will be completed at the end of each module and marked by your tutor.
You will not be required to take an external exam with this course as your portfolio of evidence is internally assessed by a qualified internal assessor in your setting, by an Oxbridge Assessor and externally quality assured by the awarding body. Your personal tutor will provide feedback on your work, and should there be any amendments required, they will outline what is needed for you to complete that assignment.
Observation (included)
This course requires one observation. This means that an Oxbridge Assessor will need to observe you in practice. This could be in a workplace or a voluntary placement.
We offer one complimentary external observation for this course to any student on the UK mainland, which is enough to complete the course.
Entry Requirements
The minimum entry age to study this course is 19.
This qualification is intended for those who assess occupational competence and vocational skills in environments other than the workplace (for example; a classroom, workshop or training environment). There are no other formal entry requirements for this course; however, it is recommended that you have an intermediate ability to read and write English.
