Level 3 Award ACWE Course Overview
Our Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment (ACWE) course is often pursued as a primary preference for a qualified assessor’s training. Under the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) it was previously titled the A1 Assessor course, this is now within the TAQA (Training Assessment and Quality Assurance) framework which supersedes the Assessor courses under the TAQA suite of qualifications.
This NVQ Assessor Qualification accredited by UK OFQUAL along with covering assessment in nursing, cooking, and hospitality, also encompasses various other industry sectors. The online nature of our course makes it possible for the learner to become proficient in assessment techniques applicable across vocations, and offer comprehensive knowledge related to assessment with no regard to the learner’s background.

This Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment Course is meant for those seeking training to assess occupational competence in the workplace, including evaluating competency in the FE and HE sectors. This is ideal for workplace assessors, trainers, or other professionals in the field who have or wish to develop assessment skills.
