Teaching
Early childhood education is crucial for a child’s development. Early years assessors are important in ensuring educators meet the correct standards.
An early years assessor evaluates and checks the skills and knowledge of people working towards early childhood education qualifications. Assessors ensure learners have the skills needed to work in nurseries, preschools, or childcare settings. They observe students, give feedback, and help them meet the required standards in their work and studies.
To become an early years assessor, you need specific qualifications that show you have the knowledge and skills needed to assess early childhood education and care effectively. These qualifications ensure you can help learners grow in their understanding of child development.
The qualifications you need depend on the type of assessor role you want. To start, you’ll need a Level 3 Certificate in childcare, education, or a related field. This provides the foundation for your career. However, to move forward and become a qualified assessor, you should also complete additional training in assessment.
These two qualifications can also be combined into the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA), which is widely recognised and preferred for many assessor roles.
