Student Assessment

Throughout the course, it is compulsory that you perform the
practical tasks within an ECD centre that is registered with the
Department of Social Development. It is therefore a prerequisite
for you to access a registered ECD centre where you need to
physically perform the prescribed tasks to complete the course.

Assessment of your competency is based on the evidence you will
submit in a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE). Your PoE will include
theoretical tasks and evidence of the practical tasks done at a
registered ECD centre. It is therefore important that you know
and understand that you must identify and arrange access to
a registered ECD centre at the start of your studies, in order to
complete the practical tasks required, without which you will not
be able to complete your studies.
