Eligibility
What ACQP will review before enrolment.
Every applicant receives an eligibility review before payment is requested or a formal start is agreed.
Occupational competence
Your qualifications, employment history and current construction experience must support the area in which you intend to assess.
Access to learners
The qualification includes practical workplace assessment, so access to suitable candidates and assessment evidence must be considered.
Suitable evidence
You will need opportunities to plan assessment, make assessment decisions, provide feedback and maintain appropriate assessment records.
Centre approval for future work
Qualified assessors must still be approved by the centre engaging them and may assess only within areas where they can demonstrate competence.
Important career information
