How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer VTCT Skills has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and VTCT Skills awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from VTCT Skills.

These are the units VTCT Skills registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with VTCT Skills. It does the teaching and the mapping. VTCT Skills sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.
