Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) (RQF) Level 3.

Learners will need to produce full and articulate answers to questions. As this is a Level 3 qualification, learners will need to have a good standard of written and verbal communication skills (written skills, for example, would need to be at Level 2+ but ideally Level 3). As this is an 'education' qualification, learners are required to demonstrate correct use of spelling, grammar and composition. Formal 'referencing' is also required within the written work. Learners need to be working with people who are working towards an NVQ style qualification in order to fulfill the criteria. There are multiple criteria to complete that will mean working with a range of learners.

Placement or Practical required

Learners need to be working or have a placement in a suitable environment. The setting needs to be providing/delivering QCF or NVQ qualifications. Learners must be able to assess learners (between 2 - 4 as a minimum depending on those learners needs/abilities). They must have access to an IV (Internal Verifier) in their workplace who can act as a witness to confirm the learner has undertaken work as they describe in their evidence and who can allow them access to Standardisation meetings within the organisation.

If placement or practical required, when?

Learners need to be working in a training and education role/environment or have a placement in place before commencing the course. This is so that they can plan and organise the activities that they will need to undertake in unit 2 and 3.

Additional requirements

Audio Visual evidence is required in some units and the course cannot be passed without this evidence.
