Academy of Assessors aims to produce and support the next generation of high-quality Assessors in both workplace and educational environments. Our main focus will be to develop a dedicated global thought leadership environment specifically on assessment in a vocational context, the science, art and craft of assessment in vocational education - vocational pedagogy. We want to push the boundaries of Vocational Education and Training (VET) and deliver a global approach to vocational pedagogy, which we believe is under-researched and under-theorised. The future is in a blended, agile environment that truly focuses on the needs and aspirations of all students in vocational education and assessment, our research will have a predominant focus on the UK, EU, America and Australia. As part of our lifelong learning journey for all, we offer courses that include:• Our online Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) course is awarded by ITC First, an Ofqual regulated Awarding Organisation. • Our unique Leadership Development Programme studied across five modules, applies generic leadership principles directly to the assessment environment. Upon completion of this course, you will be confident in leading an assessment team.• For those interested in entering the world of assessment, or those working in an administrative or support role, we also offer our Level 3 Award in the Principles and Practices of Assessment. You may choose to 'top up' this qualification down the line by upgrading it to a CAVA.
