Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment is intended for those who need an understanding of the principles and practices of assessment without any requirement to practice as assessors. This is a knowledge-only award for those who are starting their journey as an assessor, or those who need to know about assessment practice but are not currently practising.

The course will be delivered on-line and over 4 half days. It is expected that you carry out an element of self-study to complete a written assignment. You will be formally assessed and receive feedback regarding your progress. N.B All sessions must be attended.
There are no specific entry requirements for this qualification, however, you must be 18 years of age or over to undertake the qualification. It is recommended that you should have attended the Agored Cymru Introduction to Assessment training.

(Please note, access to learners is required for unit GB83CY021.)
For this award, you will be required to attend a one-hour introductory session with your assessor prior to commencing competency-based unit GB83CY021. It is anticipated that this will take place after session 4 of the knowledge base unit.
