Currently formative assessment is available in the form of “Criterion Tests” after each training module and relates to attitudes, knowledge and practical skills evident in the specific module
This is followed by a “Phase Test” that consists of all modules completed during that particular phase of training. This test consists of theoretical and practical components to required quality standards
Summative Assessment is done under the adjudication and evaluation of the Central Organisation for Trade Testing (COTT/Indlela) during a “Trade Test”.
Once this qualification is unpacked into Unit Standards as specified in the Skills Development Act and relates to a National Qualification, the assessment must conform to ETQA requirements. (For example, the test will be conducted by an internal/external assessor, verified by an internal/external verifier and moderator as accredited by the relevant ETQA)
