What subjects/units/modules* will I study?

These qualifications are for people working in or looking to work in assessment. These qualifications are open to people carrying out assessments in most learning environments including FE, Adult Continuing Learning, Employers and the Third Sector. They are designed for anyone assessing in all occupational sectors, accredited learning and non-accredited learning qualifications.

The Level 3 provides routes for learners to understand assessment and if required, qualify as an assessor. Learners who wish to achieve these units could be assessing competence or non-competence based learning, knowledge or skills. The courses are available twice a year; September and January.

The Certificate includes two units. The knowledge unit, which covers the theory of assessment and is assessed by building a portfolio of answers to a series of questions. The competent based unit, where you will be assessed while performing the Assessors role. This may be by Lesson Observations or through a portfolio of assessed work.

The Award is just the knowledge unit and is for anyone interested in knowing more about these areas of work. Learners do not have to be practitioners to achieve this unit. However they can progress on to the competence based course (Certificate) when their role allows.
