Assessor (NQF 5 – 15 Credits)

Why do I need this workshop?

Have you been asked to join the assessment team in your company? Or are you planning to strike out on your own as a learning consultant? Being an accredited assessor is a must!

How will I learn?

We begin by exploring the assessment landscape, unpacking the stages of assessment. You will then explore the process of planning, conducting and reporting on assessment through a series of interactive exercises.

This is not a sit passively and listen type workshop! We practise the tricky skills of fair assessment through a series of roleplays, giving you the chance to make mistakes and learn from them. Best of all, you build your Portfolio of Evidence as you go.
