The credits, and who awards them
Level 3 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Excellence, Achievement & Learning Limited rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.
What you would be collecting
Analysing and Interpreting the Results of Radiographic TestsCarrying Out Condition Monitoring of Engineering Plant and EquipmentCarrying Out Fault Diagnosis on Engineering Plant and EquipmentCarrying Out Health and Safety Risk Assessments on Engineering ActivitiesCarrying Out Project Management of Engineering ActivitiesCarrying Out Radiographic Testing ActivitiesCarrying Out Visual Inspection of Welded FabricationsChecking and Calibrating Electrical and Electronic Test Equipment
Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration The Coach Make the case from “Providing Technical Sales and Marketing Support for Engineering Activities” to me in thirty seconds. I am the person who signs it off and I am already late.
You It would improve engagement and bring us in line with best practice.
The Coach Neither of those costs me anything to say no to. Open with the number that changes if I do nothing.
- Pitch it Evaluate
“Providing Technical Sales and Marketing Support for Engineering Activities” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Carrying Out Condition Monitoring of Engineering Plant and Equipment” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Draft the real one Create
You do “Carrying Out Health and Safety Risk Assessments on Engineering Activities” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Analysing and Interpreting the Results of Radiographic Tests” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
