The TAQA Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA 6317-33) has been designed to train candidates in the theoretical and practical skills needed to support the assessment process. These qualifications were previously called the D Units or Assessor and Verifier Awards but are now known as the TAQA (Training, Assessor and Quality Assurance) Awards.
The CAVA qualification is intended for those who assess both occupational competence in the work environment and vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in a workshop, classroom or other training environments. This is an ‘in service’ award and candidates must have access to trainees (by job role or placement) in order to complete the process.
There are many areas in the skills sector where qualifications are gained by on-the-job assessment. Bricklaying, Hairdressing, Health and Social Care, Customer Service and apprenticeship programmes are all examples of areas where such assessment takes place. This means there is a need for trained staff to undertake the role of the assessor for these qualifications.
The certificate qualifies those who assess both occupational competence in
the work environment and vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in a
workshop, classroom or other training environments. This is a transferable
qualification to any sector where the assessor can demonstrate occupational
competence
The programme is flexible and includes a blend of tutorials, independent study, written work, gathering of evidence, observation of practice and portfolio building.
Candidates for this qualification must:
94%
of learners said the College campus provides a safe environment
90%
of learners said staff valued students views and opinions about their study programme
It's great to read about a college and what it has to offer, but there's really no substitute for experiencing it at an open day.
We are in the process of organising our next open days, tickets will be available nearer to the date.
