Description
The Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement (RQF) is a nationally recognised assessor qualification designed for individuals who assess vocational skills, knowledge, and understanding outside of a traditional work environment. Perfect for trainers, tutors, and vocational assessors, this course provides the skills to plan, deliver, and evaluate assessments in settings such as classrooms, workshops, or simulated environments. Learners will develop expertise in key assessment methods, including assignments, projects, case studies, skills tests, oral and written questioning, and recognising prior learning.
