The assessment is set by the approved provider and must be submitted for approval to the CIOB Awarding Organisation prior to being distributed to learners. The CIOB provides guidance and advice on the design and delivery of assessments. All completed assessments are marked internally, internally verified and subject to external verification. The assessment criteria cover three areas: 

1. Task Achievement – This is a measure of how well the learner answers the task question/questions and the identification of the important aspects of the task.
2. Technical Content – This is a measure of how well the learner identifies, describes and evaluates the technical aspects of the task. 
3. Presentation – This is a measure of how well the learner presents the assignment and includes the quality of the structure and paragraphing, the quality and relevance of visual or graphical content and the referencing used for quoted sources.
