The Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement (RQF) has been specifically designed for those who wish to undertake qualification assessment of vocationally related qualifications, for which they are occupationally competent to deliver/assess.
This may include individuals who are currently working in a mentoring, teaching or training capacity. During this comprehensive course, learners will cover a variety of topics including the principles and practices of assessment, as well how to prepare and carry out assessments of vocational skills, knowledge and understanding.
This qualification contains 2 mandatory units with a Total Qualification Time (TQT) of 90 hours. Full details of these units are in Appendix 1.
Trainee assessors must complete all assessments in the units successfully within the registration period to achieve the qualification. The maximum period to achieve this qualification, including any referrals is 24 months.
TQT is the total number of hours required for a Trainee assessor to achieve this qualification. It has 2 elements:
- Guided Learning Hours (GLH) is the time a Trainee assessor is being taught and assessed under the immediate guidance of a Trainer/Assessor, which for this qualification is 54 GLH (minimum).
- The number of hours a Trainee assessor will reasonably be likely to spend in preparation and study by but not under the immediate guidance or supervision of a Trainer, e.g. pre-course reading, which for this qualification is 36 hours.
Entry requirements
Trainee Trainers must be at least 19 years old on the first day of the training. Trainee assessors must have access to learners completing vocationally related qualifications in order to generate the evidence required to complete this qualification.
We advise that Trainees have a minimum of Level 2 in English. If Trainees do not have Level 2 in English, they should record their development needs and agree an action plan to address them.
Assessment and Delivery

Qualsafe Awards has devised externally set, internally marked assessment tools to make sure Trainee assessors are assessed against the required knowledge, skills and understanding, as detailed in the learning outcomes and assessment criteria.

- Unit 2: theory tasks supporting the underpinning knowledge contained within the unit along with practical activities relating to assessment
