Important Exam Information: 

Assessment is based on the submission of a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) which will comprise formative activities and evaluations, as well as one summative assessment (final exam). PoE assessment comprises formative/interim assessment of activities (assignments) and evaluations (test) that count 30% towards the total mark. A Summative Assessment (final exam) contributes to the remaining 70% of your marks. The PoE is basically a file containing all the evidence necessary for a learner to be declared competent against the relevant outcomes.

You will be awarded with the Certificate: Office Administration NQF L5 (SAQA ID: 23618) by FASSET upon successful completion of your PoE and your exams.  

You will also receive a Programme Completion Certificate from the ICB.
