Overview

The 1st4sport Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement is recognised as the industry standard vocational skills assessing qualification for the further education and skills sector by the Education and Training Foundation. Obtaining this qualification will prove your learners' ability to assess knowledge-based qualifications and vocational qualifications in non-work environments.

This qualification is suitable for:

  • current learning and development practitioners
  • those new to the role of assessor
  • people aspiring to assess work-based competency qualifications
Importantly, your learner must in their current role have access to assess learners on qualifications or accredited programmes of study with assessments in the relevant non-work environment. If they're interested in assessing qualifications in non-work environments and can access the above, then this qualification can provide ideal testament to their proficiency and knowledge in this area.
