Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
The ability to develop creative and innovative spatial design solutions is demonstrated.
The inherent complexity of the built environment as part of a larger system is understood.
An awareness of economic and environmental factors is demonstrated.
The relationship between humans and the built environment is understood and applied to design solutions.
Knowledge of the ethical requirements and value systems pertaining to the challenges in the local built environment is demonstrated.
The interdisciplinary nature of Interior Design and the role of other disciplines such as architecture, brand design and way finding are understood.
Relevant documentation and research is analysed and compiled.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
The reciprocal relationship between Interior Design practices and the built environment is analysed.
Issues in Interior Design practices and the built environment common to both a South African and an international context are critically examined.
Processes of knowledge production related to Interior Design are evaluated.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
Construction methods, materials and technical requirements in relation to a host building are understood.
Various technological aspects and building services relative to the National Building Regulations are understood.
Complex interior construction detail drawings are understood.
The selection and properties of suitable material and resources are understood.
Knowledge of the legal requirements and regulations, key responsibilities and restrictions of the Interior Designer related to the building process is demonstrated.
Knowledge of the fee structures, client communication, project administration and management is demonstrated.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
A research design is implemented to investigate a relevant research problem inclusive of project based and applied research, appropriate to Interior Design.
Secondary research is reported on by means of a literature study that argues the research problem.
Primary research data is analysed to produce research findings and interpreted with insight.
Disciplinary appropriate research is conducted ethically under supervision.
A research report is written that reflects the research conducted and that provides meaningful recommendations.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:
Innovative and rational problem-solving techniques are applied to various contexts.
A range of solutions to Interior Design problems in a specific context are evaluated.
A Portfolio of Evidence that can be used for future reference and development is constructed.
Personal learning needs are evaluated in order to facilitate collaborative learning processes.

Integrated Assessment:
Formative Assessment:
Learning and assessment are integrated. Continual formative assessment is required so that learners are given feedback on their progress in the achievement of learning outcomes. The scheme of work includes assignments, real-world briefs, tests and an integrated qualification portfolio based on the learning material and learners are given feedback. The process is continuous and focuses on smaller sections of the work and limited numbers of outcomes.

Summative Assessment:
Summative Assessment is concerned with the judgement of the learning in relation to the Exit Level Outcomes of the qualification. Such judgement will include integrated assessments which test the learner’s ability to integrate the larger body of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are represented by the Exit Level Outcomes as a whole. Examinations, projects, reports or equivalent assessments, such as a Portfolio of Evidence (POE) will assess a representative selection of the outcomes practised and assessed. Summative Assessment will also tests the learner’s ability to manage and integrate a large body of knowledge to achieve the stated outcomes of a module.

Integrated Assessments will be designed to achieve:
An integration of the achievement of Exit Level Outcomes in a way which demonstrates that the purpose of the qualification as a whole has been achieved.
The evaluation of learner performance which can provide evidence of applied competence.
Criterion-referenced assessment which is clearly explained to, and understood by, the learners and which can be applied in the Recognition of Prior Learning.
