Integrated Assessment:

Continuous assessment in the form of self-assessment is carried out by the learner. This is done using activities and self-evaluation exercises. Continuous assessment is also carried out by the facilitators in the form of assignments that the learner must submit upon completion of each module of the learning programme.

Formative and summative assessment are integrated in a final portfolio assessment. The learner builds up a portfolio of activities, self-evaluation exercises, assignments and projects which are assessed in order to determine whether the learner has achieved the exit level outcomes of the qualification.

ARTICULATION OPTIONS

On completion of this course learners can acvance to CADD applications.

MODERATION OPTIONS

Where professional or statutory bodies are involved in determining the curriculum, they will be involved in moderation.

CRITERIA FOR THE REGISTRATION OF ASSESSORS
