Course – NVQ Assessor Training (Unit A1 or Unit A2)

Note: This is an example of our generic face-to-face NVQ Assessor training course. All of our generic courses are tailored to utilise your own organisation's systems, policies or procedures. This course is available Online.

Who is this course aimed at?

This course is aimed at those with no prior experience as an ‘Assessor’ who are going to or currently are, undertaking their NVQ Assessor Award, Unit A1 or Unit A2.

Note: This course is also available online for individuals. If you are a company or organization looking to put a number of people through the NVQ Assessor Award, this course may prove more effective and cost-effective to be delivered face-to-face.

Course Duration

This is a 2-day course.

How will the course be delivered?

This course will be delivered in a group environment which is highly interactive. It will include individual work, group work, working in pairs, discussions, and role play as well as direct input from the trainer.

All delegates will be encouraged throughout to participate by working within syndicates that are changed regularly, within the main group. Delegates will be introduced to various models and current thinking and best practice in training design and delivery.

Course delegates will produce an Assessment Plan at the end of this session and complete the Candidate Registration Document for the NVQ Assessor Award.

Post Course Support

This course can have the benefit of a Post Course Support environment for 6 months after the training sessions at our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) at www.123skilled.com; Our VLE will provide copies of all learning materials and tools plus a File Repository, Jargon Buster Glossary, Discussion Forum to share common knowledge and Private Messaging Systems for one-to-one contact with trainers or course delegates.

Skype Video Conferencing is also available as a post course support option.

As The Gill Payne Partnership Ltd is interested in what the delegates do with their newly learned skills, all delegates will be encouraged to email or telephone course trainers beyond the training days should they have further questions or queries.

As this course is the pre-cursor to the NVQ Assessor Award, all delegates going on to complete this award will be allocated an Assessor to provide direct post-course support, guidance and assessment.
