How The Course Will Be Assessed

At our col­lege, we under­stand that assess­ments can be a daunt­ing part of any qual­i­fi­ca­tion, which is why we aim to pro­vide a sup­port­ive and encour­ag­ing learn­ing envi­ron­ment. The Diplo­ma in Adult Care Lev­el 3 is a com­pe­tence-based qual­i­fi­ca­tion that is assessed through a port­fo­lio of evidence.

To achieve the qual­i­fi­ca­tion, learn­ers must have a com­plet­ed port­fo­lio of evi­dence that cov­ers the assess­ment cri­te­ria for each unit. Our assess­ment strat­e­gy is designed to ensure that can­di­dates are mea­sured against the learn­ing out­comes and assess­ment cri­te­ria described in each unit of the qualification.

Our expe­ri­enced asses­sors will guide you through the assess­ment process and pro­vide feed­back to help you improve your per­for­mance and achieve your goals. With our com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing high-qual­i­ty edu­ca­tion and career devel­op­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties, we are con­fi­dent that our learn­ers will achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

We fol­low the Skills for Care and Devel­op­ment Assess­ment Prin­ci­ples, which pro­vide a frame­work for fair, valid, and reli­able assess­ment of com­pe­tence-based qual­i­fi­ca­tions. Our approach to assess­ment is designed to ensure that you have the knowl­edge, skills, and con­fi­dence to make a real dif­fer­ence in peo­ple’s lives.
