Assessment
Candidates must demonstrate the level of knowledge described in the unit. Assessment is
the process of measuring a candidate’s knowledge and understanding against the standards
set in the qualification.
Each candidate is required to produce evidence which demonstrates their achievement of
all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each unit.
Evidence can include: – assignments/projects/reports
– worksheets
– portfolio of evidence
