The assessments are set by the provider and must be approved by the CIOB Awarding Organisation prior to being issued to learners. Tutor-led formative assessments should be carried out throughout the course.

All completed assessments are marked by the centre, internally verified and subject to external moderation sampling by the CIOB Awarding Organisation.

The assessment criteria cover 3 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 task's technical aspects.
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.
