Assessment

All units are evaluated internally. Assessment allows the learner’s workplace practice to serve as evidence for both individual units and the entire qualification. Because the Level 3 Award in Supporting Teaching and Learning course requires an evaluation of your practical skills in your workplace, you’ll need a suitably qualified teacher and workplace assessor who can observe you, comment on your skills, and produce a report to fulfil the assessment criteria. This observation will be used to support your qualification.
