Take your career to the next level
- Assessor: This course is a popular next step on the career ladder for those who currently work and want to progress within the lifelong learning sector. Primarily the role of an assessor involves assessing learners in their work place and/or learning environment. As well as being a excellent way to progress your career, an assessor qualification will also enhance their employability.
- Internal Quality Assurer: Once qualified as an assessor many learners choose to study for further professional recognition by taking an Internal Quality Assurer course. The primary role is to quality assure the assessment process to ensuring that assessors work in an impartial, professional and consistent manner. As with assessors, internal quality assurers have greater working flexibility with many choosing to work in both roles to maximise their earning potential.
