ASSESSMENT
As this is remote learning provision, attendance at the tutorial sessions and the methods of assessment mean that the learners must have access to a computer. Achievement of this qualification is normally based on assignments, linked to each unit which are issued during the course. Some units are graded at Pass, Merit and Distinction. Learners will be clear how to gain higher grades, when the assignments will be issued and the date for submission. Completion of the assignments will mean the learner can create a portfolio of evidence. This will enable the learner to demonstrate achievement of all the learning outcomes at the standards stated by each assessment criterion associated with individual units. This will lead to successful completion of the qualification.
