Who this course is for

Teachers and education colleagues designing classroom assessments, interpreting responses, moderating judgements and evaluating learning evidence.

Who this course is not for

This course does not validate a psychometric instrument, award a teaching licence, provide specialist diagnosis or determine statutory assessment arrangements.

Before you begin

Basic teaching knowledge, professional English reading and simple marks, proportions and percentages. No real pupil records or practical plant experiment are required.

Assessment & certificate

20 scenario questions, 5 marks each (100 total), covering every lesson. Complete required lessons and select every correct answer before submission. Portfolio/capstone activities support self or instructor review; the portal does not collect or automatically grade projects and they are not an additional certificate gate. Credit allocation awaits institutional approval.
