How are you assessed
- You are required to build a portfolio of evidence in the form of written statements and reflective accounts. You are required to have an assessor in your workplace to undertake observations of your work and sign off the competencies. However, this is kept by you and does not need to be submitted to us.
- You must pass all the MCQ’s in each section in order to get a certificate.
***It is recommended you identify a mentor to guide you and provide you with support to complete your skills competencies. We recommend you allocate at least 26 weeks to complete competencies under supervision of a mentor. You will have access to the course material for 6months so that you can complete it at your own pace.
