The CAVA is the most comprehensive assessor qualification and will allow you to assess occupational competence and vocational skills, both in a work and learning environment.
To become an assessor, you need to have experience and occupational competence in the area which you want to assess, along with the Level 3 Assessor qualification (CAVA). Don’t confuse CAVA with TAQA, that is an umbrella term for Training, Assessing and Quality Assurance courses. You may have also heard of the A1 Assessor course, A1 Award, or even D32/33. The CAVA is the updated version of these qualifications.
Once you gain this CAVA qualification you will be a fully qualified assessor and able to assess in your subject area. You can then work for colleges, training providers, apprenticeship providers or on a freelance/self employed basis. There is no subject specific assessor qualification eg CAVA in Early Years. This qualification will cover any area which you are occupationally competent to assess.

What our learners say
Absolutely amazing company to do qualifications with. They looked after me every step of the way, support and communication was incredible and I highly recommend HBM learning.
I had the best support from my tutor. Quick and fast response. I completely my level 3 CAVA course within a month and couple of weeks. Would highly recommend as it simple and easy to learn.
@goster_getgoing
I went to HBM for an AET course because their rates were so competitive. I didn't know what to expect but they were absolutely brilliant. The feedback and assessment is top notch - personable and efficient. I would definitely recommend them for the AET or the CAVA!
