Active IQ.jpg

This qualification is intended for those who assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in environments other than the work environment (for example a workshop, classroom or other training environment) AND occupational competence in an individual's work environment, (often NVQ's).

It will aid those who wish to widen their career pathway and skill set within their chosen sector through assessing.  

This qualification provides progression to Level 4 qualifications in internal quality assurance for learners who wish to further their knowledge and skills and become internal or lead internal verifiers. 

​

N.B. This is not a teaching qualification - but does replace the old V1 or D32/D33 assessment qualifications. To gain a teaching qualification you will need to complete the CET (CTLLS) Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training; or you can start with the Level 3 Award (PTLLS)
