Assessment:

The Access to HE Diploma assessment mechanism incorporates:

• assessment tasks which are designed and set by the Centre

• internal assessment of learner work

• internal and external moderation of assessment.

Learners are assessed through activities that are internally set by

teaching staff and which enable the assessment criteria for a unit to

be met. Tutors mark the work to check it is:

• authentic – the result of the learner’s own performance or activity;

• sufficient – enabling assessors to make a consistent and reliable judgement;

• adequate – appropriate to the level.

Achievement is not confirmed until the work has been through the

internal moderation and external moderation processes and the

recommended result has been confirmed by the OCN London

Awards Board.
