ABOUT YOUR ASSESSMENT

How you will be assessed
You will be assessed by a combination of methods. These are:-

1) Marks awarded from your ‘end of module’ assignments (2 per module)
2) Part One (Modules 1 - 4) and Part Two (Modules 5 - 8) Examinations.
3) Marks awarded by your Master Trainer for your Portfolio
4) External Appraisal in relation to your Practicum by your Master Trainer who will visit your school
5) Self appraisal in relation to your Practicum

Programme Assessment
The Programme is divided into:-
· Part One (Modules 1 – 4)
· Part Two (Modules 5 – 9)

For certification, a pass mark must be achieved in both Part One and Part Two and ALL Modules must be successfully completed, including all assignments. The decision to allow a trainee to write the examinations will be based on successful completion of all of the modules and associated assignments, Portfolio and Practicum.

How we calculate your final percentage mark and grade

End of Part Examinations (average of the two) 50%
e.g. Part One Exam – 75% Part Two Exam - 83%
(75 + 83) / 2 = 79 x 50% = 39.5%

Average marks of all assignments
Part One (4 assignments @ 30 marks = 120 marks)
Part Two (5 assignments @ 30 marks = 150 marks) 20%
e.g. Part One
25 + 24 + 18 + 29 = 96
96 / 120 x 100 = 80%
e.g. Part Two
17 + 27 + 13 + 20 + 19 = 96
96 / 150 x 100 = 64%
Part One + Part Two
(80 + 64 = 144) / 2 = 72 marks
72 marks x 20% = 14.4%

Portfolio (including Activities overall for all
nine modules) 10%

Practicum External Appraisal by Master Trainer
based agreed targets and success 15%

Practicum Self Appraisal 5%

Total Percentage Marks 100%

Pass Mark = 50%
