What is involved in delivering this qualification?
To deliver the Level 3 Award in Electrical Energy Storage Systems, a training centre must be approved by LCL Awards and demonstrate it can meet the awarding body’s delivery and assessment standards.
Centres must have qualified teachers and assessors with relevant industry experience and appropriate teaching and assessing credentials.
Assessment involves:
- An on-screen multiple-choice exam, which is set and marked by LCL Awards.
- A practical performance assessment, which is set by LCL Awards but delivered and marked by LCL Awards approved assessors.
Centres must therefore provide secure IT facilities for online exams and a well-equipped practical area where learners can demonstrate safe inspection and testing procedures.
