Is your teaching ready for the new V Level qualifications?

As the education and training landscape evolves with the introduction of new V Level qualifications, it’s essential that teaching, learning and assessment practices evolve with it. Our partners at Maxam Training are highlighting some of the key considerations for delivering qualifications with a stronger emphasis on the application of knowledge, transferable skills and work-related behaviours.

For providers looking to strengthen their delivery teams capability, Maxam offers recognised teaching, assessing and CPD programmes designed to support practitioners in developing the skills needed to deliver vocational qualifications effectively.

This means a move away from command verbs such as ‘describe’ and ‘explain’ and more towards active verbs such as ‘plan’, ‘prepare’, ‘interpret’ or ‘create’. Add to this the mapping of transferable skills and work-related behaviours and it’s clear that delivery and assessment of these qualifications will need to be approached differently.

How can Maxam help?

For those involved in delivery and assessment who require a formal teaching qualification, Maxam can offer the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training (V-Level pathway) which includes the following units, designed to prepare you for teaching and assessing on V Level qualifications:
·      Assess Vocational Skills, Knowledge and Understanding
·      Delivering Employability Skills
·      Evaluating Learning Programmes

Alternatively, if your centre is looking for accredited CPD options to give you practical support, Maxam have the following bite-size courses available:
·      The Transferable Skills Toolkit
·      Assessing work-related behaviours on V-Levels
·      Fundamentals of Scenario-based teaching and the EDIP approach
