Health and Social Care Assessor Course Description
Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement
What is the Health and Social Care Assessor Course About?
The Level 3 CAVA assessor qualification is the ideal choice for those seeking to become fully qualified assessors in their area of expertise, including health and social care. With this certification in hand, you will have the necessary credentials to carry out assessments confidently and accurately, ensuring that learners meet the required standards set by industry regulations and standards bodies.
This course is suitable for anyone over the age of 18 who wishes to become a fully qualified Health and Social Care Assessor. The CAVA qualification is, however, not an industry specific qualification; so if you have experience in Health and Social Care, but also for example Business Administration, with the CAVA Assessor qualification you can assess both.
Over the years, the Assessor qualification has changed. It originally began as a qualification called the D32/33, and later on developed into the ‘A1‘. Since 2010, the most up to date and current Assessor qualification is the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement – better known as the CAVA.

Detailed Breakdown of the Health and Social Care Assessor Course
The entire assessor training course typically takes around 5-6 months to complete, assuming a study commitment of a few hours per week. Throughout this duration, learners engage with the VLE, attend a study day, collaborate with fellow trainees, and receive ongoing support from tutors.
The course structure aims to provide a well-rounded learning experience that balances theoretical knowledge with practical application, preparing individuals to become competent and confident assessors.
Unit 1 – Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment
The first unit in the assessor training course focuses on developing a strong theoretical foundation. It covers the fundamental principles and practices of assessment, emphasising the role and responsibilities of an assessor. This unit is completed through a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) provided by Brooks and Kirk, the training provider. The VLE offers a variety of educational resources, such as videos and learning materials, to support learners in their assignments. Additionally, learners have access to unlimited tutor support, ensuring they receive guidance and assistance throughout the unit.
Unit 2 – Assess Occupational Competence in the Work Environment
Unit 2 concentrates on assessing learners in their actual work environments. To enhance practical understanding, a face-to-face study day is arranged at one of Brooks and Kirk’s offices located in London (Fulham), Manchester, Coventry, or Boston (Lincolnshire). During this study day, trainee assessors collaborate with up to four other learners and a tutor from Brooks and Kirk. This interactive session allows participants to apply their knowledge and receive expert guidance. Following the study day, written assignments related to the unit are completed on the VLE, similar to Unit 1.
Unit 3 – Assess Vocational Skills, Knowledge and Understanding
The final unit of the assessor training course focuses on assessing learners’ vocational skills, knowledge, and understanding within a learning environment. Similar to Unit 2, part of this unit is completed during the face-to-face study day, where trainee assessors work together with their peers and tutor. The remaining assignments associated with Unit 3 are subsequently completed on the VLE, ensuring a blended learning approach that combines practical experience with theoretical understanding.
