2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Intergrated Assessment It is proposed that assessment for this Qualification will be formative and summative in nature. It is furthermore suggested that the assessment is conducted individually per Unit Standard, allowing the learner to be declared competent in specific Unit Standards, or combinations of Unit Standards. Assessment has to be conducted by means of varied methods of assessment by registered assessors, accredited by the relevant ETQA. Assessment will include written assessment, group work, syndicate work, case studies role play as well as any additional method designed to successfully and credibly assess his/her competence in the specific Unit Standards. The learner`s ability to apply the theoretical information and actually be able to "do the job" (applied competence) specifically in the road transport workplace environment has to be assessed and confirmed before by a registered assessor, after which time, he or she will be declared competent. Assessors have been given the following pointers to keep in mind when designing and conducting assessment against each of the Unit Standards: |
