Assessment Structure
Assessment is based on the submission of a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE). This includes 3 assignments and 2 tests and you will write a final exam.
PoE assessment consists of formative/interim assessment of activities (assignments) and evaluations (tests) that count 30% towards the total mark.
A Summative Assessment (final exam) contributes to the remaining 70% of your marks. The PoE is basically a file containing all the evidence necessary for a learner to be declared competent against the relevant outcomes.
