Integrated Assessment:
Assessment practices must be open, transparent, fair, valid, and reliable and ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way. An integrated assessment approach is thus incorporated into the qualification to ensure the specific purpose of the qualification is met.

The development of the competencies may be through a combination of formal and informal learning, self-study, group work and workshops.

Integrated assessment is evident through the variety of formative and summative methods.

Formative assessment may be made by means of, but not limited to:
Assignments – written assignments to review questions on theory.
Written theory tests (online).

Summative assessment may be made by means of, but not limited to:
Written examinations.
Case study.
Continuous assessment will help to develop an increasing critical awareness of the learner’s own progress and will empower him/her to improve future performance. It also will help the lecturers to develop a critical awareness of the needs of individual learners.
