Competency Assessment

Assessment is a way of finding out if learning has taken place. It enables to find out if a learner has gained the required skills, knowledge, understanding and/or attitudes and behaviors needed at a given point in time, towards their learning program. Assessment also provides learners with an opportunity to demonstrate what progress they have made and what they have learnt so far. Without assessment, no one will know how well, or what the learner has learnt.

Two typical kinds of Competency Assessment are: Formative (During learning session) and Summative or integrated assessment (End-point Assessment - EPL).

An assessor is a qualified professional who evaluates a person's skills, knowledge, professional behavior and work history to help determine their competency.
