Centre Assessment Guidance
Centre’s are advised to follow the assessment guidance and methods set out by OTHM
qualifications within the specification and this document, if a centre wishes to devise their
assessment methods then this first must be provided to OTHM Qualifications, prior to
implementation.
The Assessor should decide when the learner is suitably prepared to undertake the
assessment and issue the Assignment. Once learners have been issued with an assignment,
it is essential they work independently to produce and prepare their evidence for assessment.
Before commencing an assessment, the Assessor should take care to ensure each learner
understands:
● the assessment requirements

● the nature of the evidence they need to produce
● the importance of time management and meeting deadlines
● the importance of submitting authentic work
It is important that centres develop an effective delivery method to teaching and learning that
supports the progression and stretch of learners through the level 4 and 5 units of the OTHM
Level 5 Extended Diploma qualifications.
Assessing Unit Content
Assessors are expected to assess evidence submitted by learners to determine that the work
is suitable in meeting the assessment criteria and provide learners with appropriate feedback.
Centre assessors mark the assignments against the predefined learning outcomes and
assessment criteria in the specification.
To achieve this unit, learners must achieve the learning outcomes and meet the standards
specified by all assessment criteria for the unit.
For the units Finance and Accounting and Management Accounting and Decision
Making, learners will need to be supplied with a range of financial statements / accounts
for a business. These can be downloaded by the tutor from the Internet.
Assessment Tracking and Recording Learner Progress
It is necessary to track and record learner achievement throughout the delivery period of the
OTHM Extended Level 5 Diploma and this should not be left until the end of the course.
This will include regular review of learner work through formative and summative assessment
and internal quality assurance at planned intervals during the programme:
• before decisions have been made on any unit
• sampling evidence once one or two of the units or assignments are completed
Tracking learner progress, recording the achievement of each learner per criteria on a unit-
by-unit basis ensures:
• the assessment evidence is clearly measured against national standards
• learner progress is accurately tracked
• the assessment process can be reliably verified
• evidence is valid, authentic and reliable for the safety of certification
• identification of which assessments are outstanding
• internal verification is timely

• samples for standards verification and other external audits can be made available as
required
• up to date, securely stored assessment records help to minimise the risk of
assessment malpractice and potential issues; maintaining the integrity of the
qualification.
Tutors/Assessors should provide learners with formative and summative feedback to aid
development during their studies.
Formative Assessment Summative Assessment
used during the learning process used at the end of the learning process
evaluates achievement against learning
provides feedback on learning-in-process
outcomes and assessment criteria
dialogue-based, ungraded graded Pass / Refer
Assessor Authentication
Every member of staff involved in the internal verification of controlled assessment must
ensure that each piece of assessed work can be authenticated with confidence as being the
work of the learner who submits it. The assessor and IQA must sign a declaration after the
work has been completed confirming that the work was completed under the required
conditions.

Learner Task Guidance
● The assessment for this qualification comprises assignment based tasks, to be completed
at the end of the period of learning.
● The tasks will cover all learning outcomes and assessment criteria within the unit. The
tasks are necessary to map and claim knowledge and competence.
● You are expected to include citations and references in your academic work and you
should follow the Harvard referencing style.
● You must use relevant academic and reliable sources.
● The Indicative Content in the specification is not prescriptive or exhaustive but is intended
to provide helpful guidance to teachers and learners, with the key areas that will be
covered within the unit and relating to the kinds of evidence that should be provided for
each assessment objective specific to the unit learning outcomes
● Learners are expected to adhere to the word count, provided as a range within the question
text. A 10% leeway either side of this range is permitted before the assessor is instructed
to stop reading any further.
● There is no formal time limit for the completion of the tasks, besides that of the validity of
assessment materials.
● Learners will be required to sign a statement of authenticity, confirming all evidence

provided is their own.
● As well as the content your tutor/assessor will be scrutinising the following aspects:
o Plagiarism and collusion

o Critical writing, style
o Sentence structure
o Grammar, punctuation
o Argument, setting out
o Presentation of findings and conclusion
o Referencing and citation
● The tasks are marked by an Internal Assessor and verified.
● Learners who fail to achieve the required Pass mark are permitted to re-sit after having
sufficient teaching and additional study time.
