1. A research report based on a scientific research project in a specialised field of personnel leadership written to comply with Masters degree level standards.
2. A dissertation according to set standards at Masters level.

Competence is achieved, through continuous assessment by demonstrating the ability to achieve the outcomes of the Qualification

Written internal and external examinations.

This will be supported by a module credit system, followed by a final exam on the modules for which credit was not obtained.

Assessment documents are moderated to ensure that:

They conform to the scope and context of the competency as stipulated in the qualification.
They are constructed in such a way that the Assessor assesses the critical outcomes applied, during the Learners activity performance, towards achieving an outcome.

Assessments are:

To include confirmation of the Embedded Knowledge component to ensure that the Foundational Competency is achieved.
To be verified by Internal Verifiers to ensure valid, credible, true and fair results.
