Level 3 CAVA Course Description
The Level 3 CAVA assessor course covers various activities that assessors must perform. This includes knowing the principles and practices of assessment, such as different assessment methods, planning, legal issues, and quality assurance. This Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement course helps to know how learners can evaluate vocational skills, knowledge, and understanding under simulated or classroom set-ups and also evaluate occupational competence in the actual workplace.
The evidence based assessment is employed during the Level 3 CAVA course and involves the learner developing a portfolio to show actual assessment practice. The learners will plan and conduct an assessment on at least two learners, collect evidence, and support their judgement about the assessment based on national standards.

The CAVA Level 3 assessor qualification is aimed at those individuals who are or intend to be assessors in vocational and work based learning environments. It is ideal for

- Specialists working in areas where occupational competence is assessed, e.g., health, construction, care or education.
- Individuals who desire formal certification to fit the industry and regulatory standards.
Any individual mentioned above can take this course, but learners usually need to have access to candidates whom they can assess.
