Integrated Assessment:
Assessment of knowledge and understanding of content is continuous throughout the programme. Assessment provides a balance between summative and formative approaches, recognising the needs of the learners and the learning outcomes.
Formative assessment is intended to provide opportunities for improvement, through feedback; and summative assessment contributes to the marks across each individual course and determines a pass or a fail for that particular course.
To attain the qualification Learners must achieve a mark of at least 50% (or more) in each module.
