The TAQA Level 3 Assessors Award is a qualification for practitioners assessing competence in the work environment. These were previously called the D Units or Assessor and Verifier Awards but are now known as the TAQA (Training, Assessor and Quality Assurance) Awards. For some qualifications it is stipulated by the Awarding Organisation that assessors must hold a relevant assessor qualification. This is an ‘in service’ award and candidates must have access to trainees (by job role or placement) in order to complete the process.
There are many areas in the skills sector where qualifications are gained by on-the-job assessment. Bricklaying, Hairdressing, Health and Social Care, Customer Service and apprenticeship programmes are all examples of areas where such assessment takes place. This means there is a need for trained staff to undertake the role of the assessor for these qualifications. In order to do this you need qualifications and experience in the specific skills area and a knowledge of the assessment approach as demonstrated by holding a relevant assessor qualifications.
The programme is flexible and includes a blend of tutorials, independent study, written work, gathering of evidence, observation of practice and portfolio building.
