The quality of the assessment is vital in order to provide credible certification and recognition of achievement.

Formative assessment component comprises monthly mini-reports based on an evaluation of how well the learner has been able to apply the academic content. Assessment during the year will consist of a combination of assignments (including activities such as essays, concept maps, paragraph questions, closed tests, multiple choice questions, portfolios, self-assessment tasks in the study guides or calculations) to be submitted to and assessed by the lecturers. Assessments will be external and externally moderated.

Summative assessments are in the form of proctored examinations, or equivalent assessment. Summative assessment also tests the learner’s ability to manage and integrate a large body of knowledge to achieve the stated outcomes of a full course.
