The Qualifi Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement is a UK-regulated vocational qualification designed for individuals who assess occupational competence and vocational skills, knowledge and understanding. It provides structured knowledge and practical assessment skills for professionals working in vocational education, training, workplace learning and assessment environments. The qualification is accredited on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and has Qualification Accreditation Number (QAN) 603/5650/9. It is awarded by Qualifi Ltd, an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation.

The qualification focuses on three core areas of professional assessment practice. Learners develop an understanding of the principles and practices of assessment, including assessment requirements, methods, planning, evidence, assessment decisions, feedback and quality assurance. They also develop the ability to assess occupational competence within the work environment and to assess vocational skills, knowledge and understanding in settings such as classrooms, workshops and other training environments.

The programme comprises three mandatory Level 3 units covering these assessment areas, providing a coherent foundation for aspiring and practising vocational assessors. Its assessment approach uses realistic, work-related assignments that require learners to demonstrate knowledge, critical understanding, problem-solving and application of assessment theory to practice. Assignments address the learning outcomes and assessment criteria of each unit and may require learners to use real organisations or relevant workplace contexts to support their responses.

For UK and international learners, the qualification provides a focused route into vocational assessment practice and can support progression to relevant Level 4 study or employment in associated assessment professions.
