Become an NVQ Assessor
NVQ qualifications are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, the more candidates who are now working towards their NVQ means that there is a bigger demand for NVQ Assessors. At Harrow College we train assessors in retail, customer service, business administration, team leading, care and IT.
As an assessor you will support and assess people working towards National Vocational Qualifications. You will make sure that candidates meet the occupational standards needed to achieve the NVQ by:
- supporting and guiding them
- help them to gather evidence
- judging their evidence
- providing feedback
You do not need any set academic qualifications to become an assessor, but need to be at level 2 (GCSE) in literacy. You should also have at least 2 years experience, knowledge and skill in the occupational sector you will be assessing. You also need to be interested in developing others, have good organisational skills and be a good listener.
Becoming an assessor requires time and energy but the personal benefits include:
- gaining a nationally recognised assessor qualification
- self development
- opportunities to further your career which may result in more pay
- satisfaction from knowing that you are motivating others who are looking to progress their career
Cost : £650
