Overview
Overview of assessment strategy
The learner needs to demonstrate competence against all the Assessment Criteria within the Assessment. The most appropriate way of covering this is through a discussion with the Learner. BIIAB requirements for carrying out a discussion apply (see below). If you wish to use an alternative assessment methodology, this needs to be agreed with BIIAB in advance of the assessment taking place.
