Continuous and formative assessments

Assessments will take place on a continuous basis during the program. Learners will be assessed before embarking on the program as well as during the program. Learners will be assessed at the end of each module in the program to establish the their positive achievements and plan the appropriate next steps.

Assessment criteria and performance indicators will be developed per module.

During the formative assessment phase learners will be assessed on both the critical cross-field outcomes and the specific outcomes where a program module is linked to a unit standard or a part thereof.

A wide range of assessment methods and tools will be used during the formative assessment phase. Assessment tools will be designed to ensure that the learner meets the assessment criteria of the unit standard. Learners will be assessed on their foundational and practical competence during this phase.

Integrative and holistic summative assessments

Formative assessment
Formative assessment outcomes will serve as an input into the formal assessment process. Outcomes of the formative assessment phase will be used to make decisions about the learners’ readiness to complete a summative assessment. A registered assessor using an assessment guide will conduct summative assessments at an assessment site.

Summative assessment:
During the summative assessment phase both integrative and holistic assessment will be used which relates to the demonstration of the achievement of the entire qualification. In this instance the range of unit standards comprising the qualification would not be assessed in isolation but in relation to each other. Thus the security officer would need to integrate the unit standard outcomes with components of competence described in other unit standards.

The context of formal assessments and the level of quality will resemble the requirements of the security officers work environment.
