Recommendations For A Nvq 3 Textbook

[AnonyMouse_2186]

I am just about to start the A1 assessors award and have two staff who will be starting the level 3 who i will be using to observe.

 

As we have all received bursaries from the LEA we will all be seen as private learners so will need to fund any resources ourselves.

 

I would like to treat them to a good textbook to help them with the qualification and wondered if any of you had any suggestions?

 

I have read that the Penny Tassoni one is good

 

Also, the Miranda Walker one is supposed to be good too.

 

I can afford to buy both, but are about £20 each and don't want to waste my money if they are not that good!

She may well correct me, but I think MrsWeasley used the Penny Tassoni one exhaustively until fairly recently.

 

I'd be interested to hear your experiences of the A1 assessors award Lucy - where are you doing it?

Hi Maz, thanks for the info!

 

I'm starting the A1 award with a local training company that i am doing the level 4 with.

From the info i have had it appears that i will work alongside the assessor for my staff then once completed (approx 3 - 4 mths) i will then become their assessor.

 

I was quite pleased with this but then wondered about the £2000 they would be getting in bursarys when i would be doing most of the work!!!

 

Im starting mid june, so will let you know when i know more.

I would also be interested in hearing more about your experiences with the award myself, as I have applied to do the course at my local college in February (they may not accept me though!!)

 

I hope it all goes well for you!
