The certificates comprise unit standards which are building blocks towards the National Qualifications framework. A credit is made up of 10 notional hours. For example, if a unit standard has 6 credits, a learner would be expected to attend some form of learning for 60 hours. This may be in the form of practical tasks, work experience or class sessions. For assessment purposes, each unit standard is assessed and learners are required to complete these assessments.

Each assessment is discussed with learners prior to the start of each unit standard. On completion, and forms of assessment are implemented. The sitting of tests at the end of a unit standard is not the only overall result, but rather adds to the portfolio of evidence created by the learner as each unit standard is completed. Upon completion of each unit standard, you will be assessed before you commence with the next unit standard.

You will receive continuous feedback of your progress from the Facilitators and Assessors.

An independent (external) moderator is required to review all assessments thereby ensuring a consistently high quality product.
