Assessing Competence in the Work Environment1st4sport Level 3 Award
The 1st4sport Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment assesses learning and development of practitioners’ performances in carrying out assessments of occupational competence, in an individual’s work environment.
The qualification is transferable to any sector you have occupational competence in, and provides a national benchmark of good practice for England
What does this qualification cover?
The qualification is recognised as the industry standard work environment assessing qualification for the further education and skills sector by the Education & Training Foundation.
It covers two main areas: Understanding the principles and practices of assessment and Assessing occupational competence in the work environment.
Who is it suitable for?
You must be a minimum 18 years of age and should have an appropriate vocational or competency-based qualification at least one level above the qualification they will be assessing. You must also have access to assessment opportunities in your own specialist area.
