IMI Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement

Who is it suitable for?

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

Therefore the qualification ensures that staff assessing non-NVQ or non-competence-based vocational qualifications within the QCF on a ‘devolved’ basis meet agreed standards of assessment.

About

The suite of LLUK Assessor and Verifier qualifications are for staff that are working in, or looking to gain entry to, roles in Assessment and Quality Assurance.  They have been developed for those working in accredited learning, non-accredited learning, the NQF and the QCF.  They are designed for use in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Note: Individuals holding assessor and verifier qualifications, including A, D and V units, will not need to undertake the qualifications.  However these assessors and verifiers must undertake continuing professional development to ensure they are working to the new NOS.

Progression

After achieving this qualification, individuals could choose to progress onto another qualification in the LLUK suite to, e.g. become a practicing assessor in the work environment, or gain understanding of the internal quality assurance processes and practices.
