I'm doing my assessor award through a college.
I had two options
a) paying £650 to do the course,
or
b) do it for free on the condition I assess two candidates for the college
so you can guess which one I'm doing!!.
I have no teaching experience, but I am doing the foundation degree - however we do have (most) assessors with L3 NVQs. One thing I will add is that our Assessor tutor (this cover's ALL NVQs, not just childcare) did say she prefers her students (us) to have had a couple of years at level 3 before becoming a assessor although many (most)of my group have only just passed theirs. As a trainnee I'm pretty much left to just get on with it myself + a mentor...... we just have to attend 3 (? offhand) training sessions, and complete a portfolio of evidence- which is all new to me as I've never done an NVQ myself!!!
Sorry not really explained it very well :(
