Assessor Courses & Qualifications

Assessor Qualifications: Background and the most recent Assessor courses available:

The first qualifications that were required for assessors to assess NVQ learners were called the D32/D33 Units. These were superseded by the A1 Award. Assessors that were already D32,D33 qualified could take a bridging certificate in order to gain the A1 award. The A1 award was eventually replaced by a new range of assessor qualifications.
