Integrated Assessment:

• Assessment of competence is done through a combination of formative and summative assessment methodologies, tools and procedures, which will not discriminate against learners in an unjust or invalid way.
• Formative assessment integrates theory with practice, with transfer of skills being conducted in a real or simulated workplace environment.
• Assessment practices are fair, transparent, valid and reliable.
• The purpose of assessment is to determine whether a learner has met the outcomes of the qualification in terms of theory and practice.
• Integrative techniques are therefore used to assess applied competence.
• Candidates should be required to demonstrate that they can perform the outcomes with understanding and insight.
