Assessment
- Formative assessment will take place during the learning process in class through means of exercises. You will be required to complete activities as part of a group in class as well as individual activities. These formative activities will help prepare you for your final assessment.
- Summative assessment will be conducted at the end of this learning process through means of a Portfolio of Evidence.
The assessment criteria describe the evidence that is needed that will show that the learner has demonstrated the outcome correctly.
Kindly refer to the unit standard attached hereto for the assessment criteria of the unit standard 120463.
It is of utmost importance that the learner fully understands the assessment criteria as listed in the unit standard, as it is the only way in which the learner will know what they will be assessed against.
The final or summative assessment is the most important aspect of this training program. It is during this process that the learner will be declared competent or not yet competent.
The learner will know exactly how he will be assessed, and when and where he will be assessed. All of these details must be obtained from the training provider where the learner enrolled for their program.
Range statements
Remember: Also included in the unit standard are the range statements in support of the assessment criteria. The range statements indicate detailed requirements of the assessment criteria.

The learning guide
The learner guide is included in this material under various learning units. The learner guide has been designed in such a manner that the learner is guided in a logical way through the learning material and requirements of the unit standard.
RPL assessment
The assessment of RPL learners will be conducted in the same way as for new learners. The assessment pack is exactly the same and will therefore be used for new learners as well as RPL Learners. It must, however, be noted that learners who are applying for RPL must provide proof of previous learning and subject-related experience prior to the assessment.
This proof or evidence can be in the format of certified copies (certificates) of previous learning programs that have been attended.
All the evidence will be assessed and authenticated before a learner is allowed to enroll in an RPL program.
