Assessment process
Learners are given sufficient time during the workshop to collect evidence for their portfolios. The portfolio is submitted to LSS for assessment and as soon as the Learner-Mentor is found competent, learners will receive a letter and assessment report indicating their competence declaration. These credits contribute 1 unit standard and 5 credits at NQF Level 4.
