Hello all.

My background:

Qualifications - NEBOSH Level 6, NEBOSH Construction certificate, SMSTS, AET Level 3 etc

Work history - HSEQ Manager for a civil engineering company and I have a training centre where I teach CITB courses (and more). 17 years on site experience in FRC (formwork reinforced concrete), and health and safety on site.

I want to expand my training centre by becoming an NVQ Assessor. I've done some research and found the Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement (CAVA) course.

Once I complete the CAVA course, what then? Where does an assessor get their assessment criteria? Is there a NVQ Assessor register or similar?

I am thorough and consciencious, and because of this I like to ensure I have all of the information I need before taking that step. I think NVQ assessing would be my next step to expand my training centre. The information online is not telling me what I need to do, or whether I look at other routes of expansion.

Any information is appreciated. Thank you

I belive you have to work for an approved centre or you can set up a centre of your own.

This link tells you how to do it for City and Guilds 

Offer our qualifications | City & Guilds (cityandguilds.com)

There are other acredited NVQs - you would need to look up each one to see the requirements.

thanks 2 users thanked HSSnail for this useful post.

Look at recruitment websites for short term contact rates. The add a percentage on top for business costs and additional profit.

For each £5/hr is about equivalent to a £10k annual salary increments.

Alternatively make use of an onine tax calculator - put in the salary you would like to earn to get an approximate Gross annual salary rate - most sites report figures interms of hourly/daily/weekly/monthly rates.

Then once again add in an allowance for business costs, pension contributions etc, profit.

Presumably you intend working for more than a basic salary plus cost.
