Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement (RQF)

That course is for assessing people in their actual jobs - think apprentices on building sites. This Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement is for assessing students in training environments like college workshops or classrooms where they're learning, not working.

Not officially, but you'll need access to vocational learners you can assess in classroom or workshop settings. Most students are already tutors or instructors working in colleges or training centers with regular student contact.

You can only assess subjects where you've got vocational expertise. If you're a qualified electrician, you assess electrical courses. If you're a trained chef, you assess catering. You need current knowledge of what you're judging.

You'll cover practical observations, written assignments, professional discussions, questioning techniques, examining student work, projects, and portfolios. Basically, all the ways tutors assess vocational learning in educational settings.
