The NCFE programme will use continuous assessment rather than examinations and you will be able to track your performance as you work towards your targets.

Methods of assessment may include web blogs, presentations, practical demonstrations, posters, reports, leaflets, interviews and discussions. The programme is taught through theoretical and practical training sessions. Each unit will provide you with assessment opportunities as you work to achieve your goals and targets. You will need an active passion for the public services and your tutors will encourage you to discuss your own achievements as well as the issues in society.
