There is no final examination. Continuous here means that assessment takes place throughout each course. Candidates' Professional Development Specific tasks or assignments will not normally be set to focus on this area, but in designing and assessing each of the written assignments and the supervised teaching practice sessions, the related syllabus focus and assessment criteria are included as appropriate. In this component candidates are required to practice teach for a total of six hours, working with adult learners at a minimum of two levels in classes of the required size. By the end of the six hours of assessed teaching practice, successful candidates should also demonstrate successful achievement of all the teaching practice assessment criteria.
