Delegates having difficulties with elements of the assessments can avail guidance from faculty. D. ASSESSMENTS
ONLINE ASSESSMENTS – Understanding of the course content will be verified by online assessments for modules 1-5 that will comprise of: 1) Multiple Choice Questions – This is a self-assessment module where a delegate needs to pick the correct answer from the given options. Whilst taking the MCQs the online tutorials are unavailable. If a learner does not achieve the 50% (pass score), resits can be taken and the tutorials become available again. 2) Short Answer Type Questions – This is a faculty assessment module where a delegate will be required to submit short answers for the exam questions that will be assessed by the faculty.
