Our approach for assessment is built on the following principles: a) The assessment should, wherever possible, use work-based evidence drawn from the Learner’s own organizational experience. b) The assessment process will be sufficiently flexible to allow for the diversity of Learner organizational experience to be used, and will take into account special needs of any Learner for whom work-based evidence will be difficult to obtain c) The assessment process will not compromise or present any risk to Learner, organizational or commercial confidentiality. d) The assessment process will recognize equal opportunity, will take due account of the values and ethics of management, and will focus on the application of the concepts of management in practice e) The assessment must be valid, valid, reliable and fair Guided Learning Hours These are used as a notional measure of the substance of a qualification, and help determine what teaching and learning resources are going to be needed to support learners. They are based on an estimate of the time that might actually be spent by the learner being taught or instructed, as well as time learners spend on structured learning such as directed assignments, assessments on the job or supported individual study or practice. So, as a learner, you can use these Guided learning Hours to help you plan effective use of your time to achieve the unit outcomes.  |
