Assessment

A summative assessment procedure will be used, and this will be applied at the end of the module when the students would have covered all the material covering all learning outcomes.

At the end of the course the trainees will be asked to complete a Multiple Choice Exam. For face to face delivery trainees will be provided with an exam paper which they are to complete within the stipulated timeframes and return to the trainer/invigilator at the end of the exam. This shall also apply in the case of blended learning where the exam will be held in person. In the case of online delivery on the date/time set for the exam, trainees will enter a previously set session on Zoom and they will be provided with a link to an online exam. In this case LimeSurvey is used.

Assessment marks will be sent to students individually, by email.

Where possible and applicable, if revision of paper is necessary, then the assessment will be reviewed by a supplementary marker. In the event of a failure in the multiple-choice exam, the student will be given the opportunity to sit for a resit. In the case of a resit, the multiple-choice exam will be different to the first one, which the student would have failed.

Final grade will be calculated as follows:
20% on attendance
80% on the replies provided in the multiple choice exam

A student must obtain a pass mark in both components to be awarded the certification.

This course is made up of a total of 50 hours. These are divided in 14 contact hours, an estimate of 35 self-study hours and an hour of assessment.

The course will be delivered in English.

  • Good working knowledge of the English language
  • Basic level of digital competence is required (use of Microsoft Word / Powerpoint) to be able to follow the course and any notes digitally handed out.

Student CV will be requested to verify the above that incorporates their self-assessment of such entry requirements. A request for copies of certification and references will be made, if necessary.

 


Testimonials

EMCS Academy comes highly recommended for the team’s outstanding guidance in creating a programme that catered for the needs of our employees. As a start, prior to the drawing up of the training programme, various meetings were set up with the management team, with the aim of understanding the training needs of the Company as well as those of the employees. The courses delivered did, not only contain the normal theory one needs to know, but a lot of practical examples. This helped the staff remain focused and attentive on the subject being discussed.

The courses were helpful not just for our work but also for our personal lives and I definitely feel generally more empowered after attending some of the courses that were offered to us and which EMCS took care to tailor and fine-tune according to our requirements.
