A1 and V1 Awards
In order to become an assessor for national vocational qualifications (NVQ) - you must achieve the
Level 3 Award in Assessing Candidates on a range of methods (also referred to as the A1 award).
The Environmental Academy has many experienced assessors that deliver the A1 award. The A1 award is applicable to all NVQs - if you plan to assess any NVQ from any sector, The Environmental Academy can help you through the A1 award.
NVQs are also subject to quality assurance or ‘internal verifying’. Internal verifiers sample NVQ candidates to confirm that a high level of assessment is taking place, conduct observations of their assessors, and are often the main liaison between training centres and awarding bodies. The Level 4 Award in Conducting Internal Quality Assurance of the Assessment Process (also referred to as the
V1 award) is required to become an internal verifier. The Environmental Academy can deliver the V1 award to any assessor interested in furthering their learning and development and ultimately their career prospects in the NVQ field.
The Academy currently runs 2 NVQ Assessment Courses:
