Does not assess skill on its own. Fear of writing tests. Language problems.
Learners lack exam technique
Verbal questioning Can clarify questions, can expand on questions, can watch learner behaviour
Time consuming, stressful, inclination of assessor to lead learner.
Interviews As above. More structured, can use panel of assessors.
Stressful. Learners become skilled interviewees.
Documents Documented proof. Can assess prior achievements.
Authenticity. Relevance. Currency. Validity. Difficult to determine these.
Portfolios A collection of evidence. Structured. Referenced.
Too much irrelevant information. Unstructured. Authenticity.
Simulations Represents real-life situations. Safe.

SHORT COURSES:
What is a Short Course?
A short course is a type of short learning programme through which a learner may or may not be awarded credits, depending on the purpose of the programme.
A Credit-bearing short course is a type of short learning programme for which credits, in relation to the course's contribution to a particular programme, unit standard and/or (part) qualification, is are awarded. (Paraphrased from CHE, 2001:44). A credit-bearing short course contains less than 120 credits.
A Non-credit-bearing short course is a type of short learning programme for which no credits are awarded in relation to unit standards or (part) qualifications depending on the purpose and/or assessment of the programme.

REGISTRATION OF NEW STANDARDS AND QUALIFICATIONS:
What is the difference between a qualification and a learning programme, and can a programme be registered on the National Qualifications Framework?The essential difference between a qualification and a learning programme is that a qualification is a learning outcome, and a learning programme the process one embarks upon in fulfilment of that outcome.A qualification means the formal recognition of the achievement of learning. A learning programme on the other hand is the process which one embarks upon in order to fulfil that achievement.A qualification is characterized by learning outcomes - critical cross-field and specific outcomes - which provide the learner with opportunities for further (lifelong) learning. Subject to SAQA approval, a qualification can be registered on the National Qualifications Framework. Once thus registered, the qualification becomes "public domain property". A learning programme is a provider-specific course or programme offered to learners against a particular qualification, and is subject to quality assurance by an accredited ETQA. Learning programmes, then, cannot be registered on the National Qualifications Framework.
