About this course

Level 3 Assessor Course in Barnet. Evening assessor classes run at Barnet and Southgate College Barnet Campus, so you can fit study around your working week. The course runs over 8 weeks part-time. It's designed for people who assess occupational competence in the workplace and vocational skills in settings such as workshops or classrooms. To join, you'll need GCSE grade 4 (C) or above in English and Maths, or an equivalent qualification. You must also have access to at least two learners you can assess in a workplace setting.

Who this course is for

This qualification is intended for those who assess both occupational competence in the work environment and vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in environments other than the workplace (for example a workshop, classroom or other training environment).

Entry requirements

GCSE or equivalent at Grade 4 (C) or above in English and Maths

Trainee assessors MUST have access and be able to assess at least TWO learners in the workplace. It is the trainee assessor?s responsibility to find their own learners.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn how to plan and prepare assessment activities for learners in the workplace.
  • You'll learn how to assess occupational competence through observation and questioning.
  • You'll learn how to assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in training environments such as workshops and classrooms.
  • You'll learn how to make assessment decisions and give constructive feedback.
  • You'll learn how to keep accurate and compliant assessment records.
  • You'll learn how to work within quality assurance processes and meet the requirements of your awarding organisation.

How you will learn

You'll attend evening classroom sessions at Barnet and Southgate College Barnet Campus over 8 weeks. Assessment is based on a portfolio of evidence gathered from your real assessment practice with learners in the workplace. You'll be observed carrying out assessments and will also complete written tasks and professional discussions to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Barnet and Southgate College Barnet Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start. You will need to arrange access to at least two learners you can assess in a workplace setting, as this is your own responsibility to organise before the course begins.
