All Modules within this qualification are assessed internally by the approved training Centre and externally verified by Innoqual. The program uses a criterion-referenced assessment approach to ensure that learners successfully meet all required learning outcomes.
A Pass in any unit is granted only when the learner submits valid, reliable, and authentic evidence that demonstrates achievement of the assessment criteria. The Assessor is responsible for reviewing this evidence and confirming that the learner has attained the expected standard.
To guarantee fairness, transparency, and consistency, assessors are required to maintain a detailed audit record, clearly documenting the basis of their assessment decisions in line with quality assurance requirements.
