HR Staffing | External assessment plans

External assessment is an integral part of candidate assessment in the course covered by the syllabus. It is intended to assess certain knowledge, skills and attitudes that are associated with the subjects and are not easily assessed in external examinations. The activities
constructed under Internal Assessment are linked to the syllabus and should form part of the learning activities to enable the candidate to achieve the objectives of the syllabus.During the course of study for the subject, candidates are awarded marks by their teachers for specified knowledge, skills and attitudes they demonstrate as they undertake their Internal
Assessment assignments. These marks contribute to the final marks and grades that are awarded to candidates for their performance in the examination.

Two distinct sets of guidelines (provided in the syllabus) for selecting appropriate tasks are intended to assist teachers and candidates in selecting assignments that are valid for the
purpose of Internal Assessment. The guidelines for assessing the candidates’ assignments are intended to assist teachers in awarding marks that are reliable estimates of the achievement of
candidates in the Internal Assessment component of the course. In order to ensure that the scores awarded by teachers are not out of line with the Council’s standards, the Council undertakes the moderation of a sample of the Internal Assessment assignments marked by the
teachers.Internal Assessment provides many opportunities for teachers and candidates to organise the learning activities of selected sections of the curriculum to meet the individual needs of each candidate. It facilitates feedback to the candidate at various stages of the experience. This
helps to build the self-confidence of candidates as they proceed with their studies. Internal Assessment also facilitates the development of the critical skills and abilities emphasised by
the subject and enhances the validity of the examination on which candidate performance is reported. Internal Assessment, therefore, makes a significant and unique contribution to both
the development of relevant skills and the testing and rewarding of candidates for the development of those skills.
