FAQs
Do I need a teaching qualification?
No, you can be an assessor without being a teacher
Which unit do I require?
Everybody needs unit 1 (theory).
You then require unit 2 if assessing in the workplace, this is assessments which are not simulated and carried out in a real workplace, often assessed through observations or witness testimonies.
Unit 3 is if assessing in the classroom or a simulated environment.
Do I need to be observed carrying out the observations?
Yes, the person assessing requires their Assessor and IQA qualification and would need to provide evidence and sign a declaration. If you do not have someone, there is an option to come to Milton Keynes for observation.

No, as long as they are criteria-based
Can I start at any time?
Yes, you can enrol and start at any time.
Delivery
Students must have two candidates ready to assess in a classroom or simulated environment in order to complete this qualification, as units 2 and 3 require the student to carry out two assessments with two candidates.
These need to be observed live by a qualified IQA or an experienced assessor who can be a witness, and we will then conduct a professional discussion with you to confirm your competence.
