EXEMPTIONS

ASSESSMENT
The South African Board for People Practices (SABPP) is your assessment authority for this programme, which means that the SABPP prescribes the way you will be assessed. All assessments will be conducted by Milpark College. Please keep the following in mind:
15a
Your assessments are made up of formative assessments, summative assessments, and a final integrated summative assessment (FISA). Your formative assessments are assessments you will do during your studies per subject. Your summative assessments are the final assessment for a subject, which you will complete at the end of a subject. It is compulsory to complete all of your formative, workplace practicals and summative assessments. Your Summative Assessment Guide consists of a knowledge questionnaire. You have to upload the answers to your knowledge questionnaire for marking via the online learning portal, similar to the process you have followed with your upload of the formative and workplace practicals. Your online Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) will be kept by Milpark College for verification purposes with the SABPP.
NB: Your formative assessments do not contribute to your final mark, but they are essential tools to indicate your progression through your course. Your summative assessments make up 40% of your final mark. You have to achieve at least 65% in your summative assessments to qualify for the final integrated summative assessment (FISA).
After you have successfully completed the formative and summative assessments of all nine subjects, you will be required to complete a final integrated summative assessment (FISA) in order to achieve the full qualification.
Your FISA will also be made up of a knowledge questionnaire and practical activities, which you will complete over a period of a month.
Your FISA has a 65% pass mark, and makes up 60% of your final mark. See the table below for a summary of your assessments, their weightings and pass marks.
