There are three components of assessment for both courses.
Assessment is on a continuous and integrated basis.
There is no final examination. Any one assessed component can cover a number of topics and objectives in the syllabus. In this component candidates are required to practice teach for a total of six hours, working with a minimum of two groups of learners of different ages and ability levels in classes of the required size. Candidates must cover the full age range of the certificate in their teaching classes and teaching practice must be sustained for the whole period of the course. By the end of the six hours of assessed teaching practice, successful candidates should also have demonstrated successful achievement of all the teaching practice assessment criteria.
