TQUK Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment (QCF)

Description

This qualification is intended for assessors who assess occupational competence in an individual’s work
environment.
It includes the following assessment methods (although not all of these require performance evidence):
observation of performance in the work environment;
examining products of work;
questioning the learner;
discussing with the learner;
use of others (witness testimony);
looking at learner statements; and
recognizing prior learning.
There is no requirement for each unit to be assessed separately. Assessors are advised to adopt a holistic approach and, where possible, to use one activity as evidence for learning outcomes and assessment criteria

for both units. For example, a professional discussion for the unit Assess occupational competence in the work environment (H/601/5314) might also provide some evidence for the unit Understanding the principles and practices of assessment (D/601/5313). However, it is essential that evidence for the assessment criteria in each unit is identified individually.
