Introduction
NCFE has created a sample task for unit 2 Managing personal and professional development
(R/615/4516) which you can contextualise to suit the needs of your learners to help them complete their
internal assessment. The task has been designed to cover all the learning outcomes for the unit and
provide opportunities for stretch and challenge.

You should plan the subject and apply the brief to the tasks in a way that suits your learners. If you
choose to create your own internal assessment tasks, they must:

 be accessible and lead to objective assessment judgements

 permit and encourage authentic activities where the learner’s own work can be clearly judged
 permit effective discrimination between learners operating at different levels
 cover the required content.

NCFE has provided guidance to help Tutors create valid and reliable internal assessment tasks. You
must refer to this guidance when creating your own internal assessment tasks. The guidance can be
found on our website www.ncfe.org.uk/media/831554/internal-assessment-tasks-guidance-for-
centres.pdf.

Assessors must be confident that, as a minimum, all learning outcomes have been evidenced and met
by the learner.
