The Advanced Assessor Course is intended to provide experienced practitioners with a deeper understanding of formative and summative assessment processes by planning, designing, and developing assessment instruments. You will gain further skills and knowledge on what quality evidence looks like and get to see how assessment tools work when used by others. Not only will you practice receiving feedback from other assessors to continually improve assessment processes, but you’ll also strengthen your ability to apply Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) practices.
