Assessment

Written assessment tasks will be required for each unit of this qualification. These tasks will address all learning outcomes and related assessment criteria, all of which must be demonstrated/passed in order to achieve the qualification. The tasks will enable learners to draw on work-related information and/or examples wherever possible. Some assessment tasks will contain a practical assignment which will require observation by an assessor. The assessment tasks will require learners to draw on real organisational information or case studies to illustrate their answers. To support this activity during the programme of learning, centres are required to make sure that they include case studies of relevant organisations and, wherever possible, encourage learners to draw on work-place opportunities to undertake research and investigation to support their learning.

The qualification will be assessed through a combination of written essays, a portfolio of evidence, professional discussions and observation of occupational competence. All units, assignments and learning materials for the course can be accessed through our online learning platform. Students have 12 months access to the online learning platform where they may study entirely at their own pace. The observations and professional discussions should be completed within a suitable environment and should be carried out by a qualified observer.
