A1 Assessor Award

Who will the course suit?
This course is for people who are, or who would like to be NVQ Assessors. It is a professional qualification.  It replaces the old D32 and D33 qualification.  The assessor?s award as a much sought after award.

What are the entry requirements?
This is a LEVEL 3 Course.

Every course is given a level 1(lowest) – 5 (highest). This level helps you know what the entry requirements are and if it will be suitable for you. For part-time courses it also indicates the amount of study involved – for example an introductory course would be a lower level if there is not much extra study involved.

To do any Level 3 course you should have:

  • At least 4 GCSEs grade A* - C, ideally including English and Maths
  • Or an equivalent qualification such as BTEC First Diploma, GNVQ Intermediate or NVQ 2.

However, adults do not always need these qualifications, just enough skills to deal with the course.

Please note that sometimes, even if a student has the entry requirements for a Level 3 course they will start on a Level 2 course. This happens in practical subjects. This is because students will need to develop practical skills to a certain level before they can attempt a Level 3 course in these areas.

For all full-time courses and some part-time courses you will be invited to have an informal interview with the tutor. On all courses that interview, a successful interview is also an entry requirement for the course.
