UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSMENT (KNOWLEDGE UNIT)
Level 3 Entitlement (or 19+ Advanced Learner Loan) may apply to you
Do you want to take the first steps into assessing/teaching? If you have a full Level 3 in your chosen vocational area and
are over 19 years old, then the Assessors qualifications are the courses for you. The series of qualifications starts with
this knowledge unit. As this course requires a good level of English, you will undertake an assessment during the first
class to confirm your place. You will complete assignments, gaining an understanding of the principles and practices of
assessment without any requirement to practice as assessors. All assignments must be word processed. Once this is
completed you can progress on to the Assessing Vocational Achievement Level 3 Certificate. These qualifications are
also suitable for qualified teachers who require a qualification to be able to assess in their vocational area, and would
be helpful for teachers in schools who deliver vocational qualifications with applied learning. Please note, you will attend
College on alternate weeks (term time only). Admission is by a short, informal discussion - please phone 01274 327327 to
register your interest. If you are aged 19 or over then you may be able to apply for a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan.
