Integrated Assessment:
All assessment will integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes and applied competence.

Formative assessment:
The study material contains self-assessment tasks with feedback. The scheme of work includes a combination of written and multiple choice assignments based on the learning material which learners have to submit and for which they earn year marks. Learners are given feedback in the form of written comments on the assignments with suggested solutions. The process is continuous and focuses on smaller sections of the work and a limited number of outcomes.

Summative assessment:
Summative assessment tests the learner’s ability to manage and integrate a large body of knowledge to achieve the stated outcomes of a module. Examinations of a representative selection of outcomes practiced and assessed in the formative stage are carried out by:
One two-hour examination per module per year.
Unless otherwise stated, a subminimum of 40% must be obtained in the examination.
The mark obtained in the examination contributes 90% to the learner’s final mark.
