The Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA), formerly known as the A1 certificate is a recognised qualification that is intended for those who assess both occupational competence in the work environment and vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in environments other than the workplace, (such as workshops, classrooms or other education and training settings). If you do not have access to assess in the workplace, consider the Award rather than the certificate. It provides the essential knowledge and understanding that assessment staff need, as well as the opportunity to practice assessment skills – followed by in-depth feedback and development goals from a highly experienced assessor. Learners will achieve 12 credits across 3 units: Understanding the principles and practices of assessment Assess occupational competence in the work environment Assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding
The Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment (RQF) is intended for those who wish to gain an understanding of the principles and practices of assessment without any requirement to practice as assessors. This qualification would be chosen if the learner only requires the knowledge of assessing but is not in a position to assess live learners. This unit when completed can be used towards other assessing qualifications in the future. Learners will achieve 6 credits across 1 unit: Understanding the principles and practices of assessment
The Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment (RQF) is intended for assessors who assess occupational competence in an individual’s work environment.
