FUNDING
REDUNDANCY SUPPORT
You may be eligible for Rapid Response Redundancy Support funding to do the A1 Assessor Course. The funding, aimed at helping people who are either under formal notice of redundancy, or who have been made redundant in the last 13 weeks.
If you meet the redundancy criteria, or if you are an employer looking to support people you are making redundant, the NVQ A1 Assessor Course is one of the courses that can be paid for by the Rapid Response Fund. The fund is administered by the Jobcentre Plus Regional Offices - to find the appropriate contact for your area, go to Business Link - Rapid Response Service and click on ‘Please see our table for your local Jobcentre Plus contact’.
NOTE 1: The process to secure funding through this route may take many weeks, so don’t delay - enquire about eligibility and apply as soon as you can. When you contact your Regional Office, stress that the course is a Fast-Track Assessor’s Course (reportedly some staff in Jobcentre offices have assumed it’s like most full NVQ qualifications and will take many months).
The A1 qualification, in many sectors, greatly improves your prospects of employability for NVQ Assessor jobs. Check for yourself and your own sector by searching on Google with “NVQ Assessor vacancy + your work area or sector or job title”, or by enquiring with recruitment consultants.

TRAIN TO GAIN
Train to Gain funding is available for a limited number of applicants for full NVQs, not for just the A1 which is a standalone NVQ Unit. However, if you are considering doing an NVQ Level 3 in Direct Training & Support, or an NVQ Level 3 or 4 in Learning & Development, you may be eligible for Train to Gain funding. The A1 is an optional Unit for the Level 3 DT&S and L&D NVQs. See the Train to Gain website for more details.
