8 Diploma in Cognitive-Behavioural HypnotherapyAssessment ProceduresThe College require students to complete a range of written questions and classroom practical-based assessments duringtraining. Each stage of training leads to an award which is issued upon successful completion of a classroom-basedwritten test. Tests are closed-book format, usually last 90 minutes, and take place on the last afternoon of each stage.The College will aim to mark test papers within 28 days. The minimum pass mark for classroom tests is 60% of the totalmark. Students who score less than 60% have one subsequent opportunity to resubmit answers. More detailed writtenanswers to every question scored ―0‖, ―1‖ or ―2‖ (failed) should be submitted. Resubmitted questions must be at portfoliostandard to pass, i.e., achieving at least ―4‖ or ―5‖ marks each.This work can contribute substantially to the evidence for your portfolio submission. Students who havecompleted the initial stages of training using different assessment methods at an earlier date will find their existing workrelevant and can produce the required evidence by completion of home-study test questions and other assessmentmethods. Unfortunately, due to the volume of assessment, at this stage only minimal feedback can be given by theCollege on classroom tests, although more detailed feedback is available on subsequent draft portfolio submissions.However, each test question is marked on a scale from 0-5 and this gives an approximate guideline regarding the workneeded for the portfolio as follows:0Extremely PoorFail Test / Portfolio Pass Test Pass Portfolio1Very Poor2Poor3Good4Very Good5Extremely GoodIrrelevant answer.Very seriously flawedanswer.Seriously incompleteanswer.Major flaws in answer.Several significantomissions or errors.Some significantomissions or errors.Evidence of evaluation oranalysis.Minor omissions or errors.Possibly sufficient for theportfolio with minorimprovements.Evidence of evaluation oranalysis.Flawless and complete answer.Probably sufficient for theportfolio.Coursework marked ―5‖ will probably be sufficient to meet the portfolio standards but your assessor may provideadditional comments on submission of the portfolio.
