Our assessment process is designed to ensure every learner achieves the required level of knowledge, skills, and understanding outlined in each course unit.
Purpose of Assessment
Assessment helps measure how well a learner has met the learning outcomes. It ensures consistency, quality, and fairness across all learners.
What Learners Need to Do
Learners must provide clear evidence that shows they have met all the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each unit. This evidence can take different forms depending on the course and type of learning.
Types of Acceptable Evidence
Assignments, reports, or projects
Worksheets or written tasks
Portfolios of practical work
Answers to oral or written questions
Test or exam papers
Understanding the Structure
Learning outcomes explain what learners should know, understand, or be able to do.
Assessment criteria set the standard learners must meet to achieve each learning outcome.
Assessment Guidelines
All assessment must be authentic, current, and relevant to the unit.
Evidence must match each assessment criterion clearly.
Plagiarism or copied work is not accepted.
All learners must complete assessments within the given timelines.
Where applicable, assessments may be reviewed or verified by internal or external quality assurers.
Full learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each qualification are available from page 8 of the course handbook.
