This module aims to provide you with the relevant knowledge, skills and competence to conduct assessments, understand certifying body requirements and gain an understanding of a diverse range of assessment tools - appropriate to a wide range of learners. The principles of UDL (Universal Design for Learning) assessment will be covered on this module as an added bonus.
Learning at your own pace doesn’t mean learning alone. At Lir, our Fully Online, Self-Paced course in Reception and Frontline Office Skills is designed for busy learners who want the freedom to study when it suits them – while still having access to real guidance, structure, and human support.
Studies show that learners in online environments with flexible pacing perform just as well as in-person learners – when clear structure and tutor interaction are present. (Source: Bernard et al., 2009; Moore et al., 2011, Journal of Distance Education)

"I completed the Assessment Practice course having completed the Training Development Award at Lir. I found it a great help to me when putting assignments, and assessments together and helping others do the same. The procedures for preparing for an External Authenticator visit has worked well here at our centre as well. I would recommend this course."
