Faculty Information

Transition Education modules are Unit Standards Assessed
Assessment of National Qualifications Framework unit standards is competency based. A particular standard is set which must be reached for the learner to be judged competent. It is recognised that different students take different lengths of time to learn and competency based assessment allows students to try again if unsuccessful. Two attempts at each assessment is permitted.

Depending on individual needs, students have the opportunity to participate in different events organised by the Faculty of Development Programmes.

• open days at tertiary education providers
• career expos
• ‘student for a day’ visits to tertiary institutes
• work experience / work exploration
