Online focus on assessment courses

Online focus on assessment courses are 3 weeks long and teachers should expect to spend 3 to 5 hours per week on the course.

To complete this course, you will need to take part in activities with teachers from around the world. The discussions and activities each week are in groups. You do not need to be online at a particular time , but we recommend that you access the course every day. To help you manage your time , we provide guidelines so you know when to complete activities for each week.

Participants who complete key weekly activities and engage in discussions throughout the course will receive a certificate.

• A certificate of participation is awarded to participants who complete some of the tasks on the course to a satisfactory level.
• A certificate of completion is awarded to participants who complete all the tasks on the course to a satisfactory level.
