What qualifications do I need?
Assessment qualifications
What will I learn?
.These new qualifications are designed to meet the emerging needs of the developing qualification frameworks. As well as being a requirement if you wish to assess or verify NVQs and other qualifications confirming occupational competence, these qualifications will be valuable to any staff involved in or responsible for assessing and quality-assuring all vocational and vocationally related achievement.
The qualifications contain knowledge units for each assessor and quality assurance role, which are available as one-unit Awards. These will be valuable if you need an understanding of these roles but are not yet in a position to practise because you have not yet started the role, or you are a manager responsible for assessors and verifiers but do not undertake these roles yourself. Additional units confirming competence can be taken at the same time as, or after, achieving the knowledge unit.
These qualifications are appropriate for all staff assessing and quality-assuring qualifications in the QCF, including staff assessing on non-NVQ or non-competence-based qualifications, ensuring that they meet agreed standards of assessment.
The Level 4 qualifications cover:
¿ Understanding quality assurance of assessment processes and practice
¿ Quality assurance of assessment processes and practice
¿ Leading quality assurance of assessment processes and practice.
How will I be taught?
Workshops, Group work and one to one discussion.
How will I be assessed?
Assessment is through collection of evidence of your verification activity in the workplace. You will complete written work to show your theoretical knowledge.
What could I do next?
On successful completion of this course you may obtain further qualifications in your own area or work towards becoming an external verifier for an awarding body.
