Overview of Assessment

The training and assessment will be based on the medium of a “Folio Assessment Manual” this will cover the all Element/Outcomes and must cover the Student Activities/tasks/projects listed below: The major tasks for assessment are Task 5; 8; 9; and the Final Task. The others, although not optional, develop an understanding to enable Students to share the competency abilities.
Based on this assumption that class-time will be a combination of “Providing Information” and “Student Activities/tasks/projects” and “Report of what you found”: the mix of groups and individuals will enable students to progress (they will not need to cope with the pressure of team-work, but rather use it as a tool in their development). Initially they will work in groups of three, or as an individual, developing your own preferences through your own “Assessment Feedback Sheet or Memorandum”. In which, each student will provide their understanding of their development by means of a “Feedback Sheet”: That allows the student to record “what was learned”, “what short-falls encountered” and “what they would do differently next-time
