The Qualification Process

The following steps explain how the whole process works from pre-registration to certification.

Step 1: The candidate carries out a self-assessment to confirm eligibility

Step 2: The candidate registers by paying the fee and submitting the registration documents and scan copy of a valid ID

Step 3: The Assessor carries out induction. The purpose is to confirm the candidate’s eligibility for the qualification and to advise them on the required features of the evidence. If in an assessor’s judgment, the candidate does not meet the registration requirements then the registration shall be canceled and the fee shall be refunded.

Step 5: The assessor shall review the submitted evidence and provide feedback to the candidate. If the submitted evidence meets the requirements of assessment criteria, then it will be saved in the candidate’s portfolio as “criteria met”. If it lacks the requirements then the assessor shall advise the candidate about the gaps so the candidate may re-submit with improvements.

Step 5: The learner submits the evidence of competence attainment against all the learning outcomes and is marked as “Criteria met2 by the relevant assessor.

Step 6: The Internal Quality Assurance Verifier (IQA) carries out the checks to ensure assessment standardization.

You are not required to present any sensitive data as part of your evidence submission for this qualification. Moreover, you can remove any names/ designations/and confidential information from the relevant documents and records before submitting them to the assessors. Likewise, you can create the documents and records afresh by removing any references to the organization.
