A102: Introducing Assessment Practice

This online course continues for 9 weeks. We anticipate that you would need to allocate an average of 3 hours per week for study time.

The course is delivered in English so participants are required to have sufficient competence in English to participate in the training. All participants should have English language competence comparable to Level B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We recommend a minimum requirement of 5.5 on the International English Language Testing System. Further information may be obtained through the IELTS website.

Please get in touch if you don't receive the email by the Saturday before the course starts and make sure to check any junk or spam folders first.

The A102 material is available from 5pm (UK time) on Fridays, but the week officially begins on Monday at 12:00 noon (UK time).

Both our Statement of Participation and Certificate of Achievement are awarded by Cambridge and include the CPD accreditation logo.

The purpose of the assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to reflect on all the topics covered in this course and to apply this learning to an assessment that interests you. The assignment will be used as evidence that you have worked through the course material and reflected on what you have been learning.

Remember, the assignment is optional. However, if you want to claim a Certificate of Achievement, successfully completing the assignment is a requirement. If you choose to complete the assignment, you have three weeks to submit after the course has finished.
