Assessment and accreditation of learning
Assessment is a vital component of the learning process
It provides evidence of the learner's achievement and can help employers understand more clearly the knowledge and skills which exist in their workforce. Without effective assessment, it is difficult to demonstrate the impact of learning which staff undertake. However, embedding assessment effectively in the learning process can provide challenges for those tasked with developing learning solutions.
Assessment is also key to the formal recognition of learning, whether this is through accreditation with professional or education bodies or through a system of credit rating.
