The main difference between TAQA (Now discontinued) and CAVA is that TAQA was a broader suite of qualifications related to Training, Assessment, and Quality Assurance, while CAVA is newer and more specific suite of assessment qualifications. TAQA (Now discontinued): TAQA stands for Training, Assessment, and Quality Assurance. It's an overarching term that encompassed a variety of qualifications for individuals involved in various aspects of vocational education and training. This included qualifications for trainers, assessors, and those involved in quality assurance roles. CAVA: CAVA, which stands for Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, is one of the newer specific qualifications . It focuses on assessing vocational skills, knowledge and occupational competence, preparing individuals to assess learners in both workplace and educational settings. There are two Awards within the suite: Award in assessing vocational skills, knowledge and understanding (for assessors within an educational setting), and the Award in assessing occupational competence in the workplace (for assessors with learners completing qualifications in a workplace setting). There are also separate Internal Quality Assurance qualifications - click on the IQA link for more information about these.

None, AET L3 (Award in Education and Training) is the newer name given to the qualification. It is considered to be the same as PTLLS level 3. Sometimes the PTLLS can consist of a level 4 unit.

None, CET (Certificate in Education and Training) is the updated version of the qualification formally known CTLLS level 4 (Certificate in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector).

Actually, both of the DET and DTLLS are now discontinued, and are being replaced by the level 5 Diploma in Teaching, which is currently being developed by our awarding body. For further details, please contact us.

A microteach is a 15 minute teaching session that you must complete in any topic as teaching practice evidence for the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET). You do not have to be working in education to gain this qualification.
