The CAVA is the most comprehensive assessor qualification and will allow you to assess occupational competence and vocational skills, both in a work and learning environment. Don’t confuse CAVA with TAQA, that is an umbrella term for Training, Assessing and Quality Assurance courses.
To become as assessor, you need to have experience and occupational competence in the area which you want to assess, along with an assessor qualification.
Once you gain this qualification you will be a fully qualified assessor and able to assess in your subject area. You can then work for colleges, training providers, apprenticeship providers or on a freelance/self employed basis. There is no subject specific assessor qualification eg CAVA in Early Years. This will cover any area which you are occupationally competent to assess.
Units
