NVQ assessors support and assess people working towards National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), making sure that they meet the occupational standards needed to achieve the NVQ. To become an Assessor you do not need to hold an NVQ qualification, you simply have to have sufficient experience and knowledge in the occupational competence area you will be assessing.

As an NVQ assessor you would:

• Plan and deliver NVQ training programmes and workshops.
• Observe and assess candidates in their workplace.
• Examine candidates' portfolios of evidence.
• Question candidates about how they would deal with non-standard situations.
• Provide feedback and offer advice if the standards are not met.
• Sign off the NVQ when all the requirements have been met.
• Keep records of candidates' progress, according to the requirements of the NVQ awarding bodies.
• Attend meetings with other assessors.
• Work closely with training staff and candidates' line managers.

The full qualification is split into two courses:

Level 3 in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment

Level 3 in Assessing Vocational Achievement
