A range of assessment methods are used across the course including observation within the workplace, building a portfolio and discussion. There are opportunities to have formal and informal feedback as you progress through the course. You will be assessed by your tutor or assessor using a range of methods. Our teaching and assessment is underpinned by our Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategy 2015-2020.
