Assessment is both formative and summative, so you’ll have the opportunity to receive feedback on your work without it counting towards your final grade. Our assessments are designed so that they're appealing and challenging no matter your background. This means they're relevant if you want to start a career in HR or are already working in HR roles and want to advance your career.
Assessment methods are varied and include assignments written in report and essay format, comparative analyses, case studies, a skills development portfolio and learning log, presentations and group work.
