Assessments
We do not believe in our students just learning for the sake of passing their assessments.

The following provides a brief explanation of the assessment methods that are to be applied:
Written Reports.
The student is required to produce a range of written records or reports based on real workplace scenarios or based on a case study that is provided by the assessor. This will usually require the student to consider carefully the situation presented, undertake some research to inform their response and then to propose their recommended actions.
Practical Tasks.
The student is required to demonstrate a range of skills whilst being observed by the assessor. This will usually require the student to consider carefully the situation presented, undertake some research to inform the response, and then demonstrate that they are able to complete the practical tasks through a role-play or presentation activity. The student may be asked to demonstrate a range of skills relevant to the workplace.
Project Work.
The student is required to undertake a range of projects in the context of his or her own workplace or on a case study that is provided by the assessor.
