3	How would your institution ensure that your staff and learners have a thorough understanding of the occupational qualification, including the final External Integrated Summative Assessment?
	Members of Staff:  Before any training commences, members of staff who will be involved in the specific training event, will be subjected to a re-training programme where course content will be reconfirmed.  This will be done along with reconfirming the required scope as well as outcomes and objectives that needs to be reached.  Specific reference will also be made to previous courses and the lessons learnt from those course so as not the repeat the same mistakes but instead strive for improvement.  
Learners:  They will be subjected to an integrated assessment process as discussed in point 4 below.

4	Explain how your institution would quality assure occupational qualifications offered:
	Through the application of a Learner Management System as well as integrated assessments whereby learners are constantly assessed to determine their level of understanding and or compliance with the required occupational qualification. 
Theoretical assessments: will either be in the form of quizzes, online assessments (both formative and summative). Formative assessments will be done at the end of each learning event and the successful completion thereof will be a prerequisite for the learner to progress to the next learning event.  At the end of the module an integrated summative assessment will assess all the theoretical aspects covered within the module.  Subject weights will form the basis of the allocation of aspects to be assessed.
Practical assessments: will be done in the form of scenarios that will be required to be completed (both formative and summative). The learners will also be expected to complete and submit documentation which is linked to specific assignments in order to demonstrate their understanding of specific subject matters.  This includes, but are not limited to certain preforms that will be required to be submitted electronically.
Workplace Experience:  Learners will be required to perform certain workplace related tasks which must then be recorded in a Logbook/Statement of Work Experience.  The duration spent on the specific task must be recorded by the Supervisor whom will also be required to sign off on these tasks.
