ABSTRACT
The main points covered in the last three chapters are:
GNVQs are complex qualifications which are going to take time and effort to understand
Both learning programmes and assessment programmes need to be carefully planned
Students need to be intimately involved with the processes of learning and assessing
Students need to be taught the skills of independent working early on in the course
The main approach to teaching must be through assignments on which students work with decreasing support from teaching staff
Assessing GNVQs is a complex process which involves making and justifying judgements about evidence using specified criteria rather than subjective feeling
Record-keeping is absolutely essential and students need to be involved with this in order to make it manageable.
