ASSESSMENT OUTLINE
Assessment is the process of gathering information using various methods to gauge the effectiveness of the
teaching and learning process in a systematic way. When you submit your assessments, a qualified subject
matter expert evaluates your performance against the teaching and learning segments.
In order to accommodate your needs as a distance learner, we have included the teaching element in your
learning material. In addition to this, you have access to a tutor, who is available through our DAT query
support system, as you work through your learning material.
Your assessment process will include formative assessments that may include a combination of the following:

 self-assessments;
 peer assessments;
 assignments; and
 tests.
Summative assessments could include either or a combination of:
 a written exam; or
 a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE). A PoE will consist of a combination of various required documents
including your completed, signed-off assessments.
The College retains your Portfolio of Evidence for verification purposes by the relevant Quality Assurance
bodies. Upon successful completion of your studies, you will obtain your Award, and your PoE will then be
returned to you.
Your Orientation Guide reflects the Assessment Policies and Procedures of the College.
Please note: Depending on your choice of Study Programme, you may write your examinations at an external
venue. If your examination is held at an external venue, you need to follow the application process
requirements.

All students are encouraged to work on all the assignments that are in the study guide. However, students are
required to submit compulsory assignments that are provided in the Study Programme. Only these compulsory
assignments will be marked and accounted for to be included in the final mark.
