Integrated Assessment:
According to institutional policy the term integrated assessment is interpreted and should be applied as follows:
Assessment of competence is an integral part of qualification delivery. Assessment is thus conducted throughout the duration of the qualification as a mechanism to monitor learning progress, identify weak points or limitations and give guidance to individual learners towards further learning and professional development (formative assessment). This will be complemented with summative assessments with the emphasis on measuring the ability of the learner to integrate knowledge and skills from different related modules (using cognitive skills of application, analysis and synthesis).
Since the execution of job-related tasks requires the integration of theory with the application of knowledge and skills, assessment practice will as far as possible be conducted along the same lines. This means that assessment tools will be suitable to assess mastery of knowledge as well as skills.

Since this is a career-oriented qualification, it is required that all candidates complete a prescribed period of work-integrated learning (WIL), which is obligatory – in this case a minimum of 400 hours during the third year of study. WIL will be conducted at a suitable company or organisation of own choice.

Candidates will be assessed though a compulsory portfolio of assessment. Certification will only be done once the candidate has completed the prescribed hours of Work-Integrated Learning.
