ASSESSMENT
Assessment in education and training is about collecting evidence of students' work so that judgements and
decisions about students' achievements, or non-achievements, can be made. The decisions concern the
student’s ability to do specific tasks, embark on a particular course of study and show knowledge and skills
set/s in order to be deemed qualified. Decisions are made about the education and training system itself, and
judgements are made in the process of assessment. The most important use of assessment is to judge the
performance of students in education and training so that qualifications may be awarded. In order for your
National Qualification to be concluded, you will be required to successfully complete the final integrated
summative assessments.
