Integrated Assessment:
The qualification provides for a continuous assessment approach. No formal examinations will be written. The assessment approach of the qualification is based on the principles of integrated assessment since the assessment activities are focused on the different dimensions of the purpose of the qualification. Where applied competence is required, theory and practice are integrated and aligned with the level descriptors of an NQF Exit Level 8 qualification. Each module consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of four assessment opportunities. Various methods for assessment are included, as well as a capstone project. The capstone project challenges Teachers and School Counsellors to integrate the knowledge and skills acquired and to demonstrate their abilities to be critical, reflective Education Managers in schools and regions and whether they will be able to act as agents of change in the quest for improved quality education in the country.

The study guides contain comprehensive assessment expositions on the assessment activities, weights of each activity, specifications on what is expected as well as the due dates. A general course guide contains the procedures and policies that Teachers or School Counsellors should be informed about, such as the procedures for absence from class, remarking, etc. The setting of tests and summative assessment activities, as well as the internal and external moderation processes related to assessment, necessitate rigorous security processes and the management of risks.
