An authentic assessment model is reflected in the programme assessment strategy. Summative assessment is a blend of integrated assessment and module specific assessment utilising both group and individual work, and the programme assessment strategy also features a capstone assessment.

Formative assessment is integrated into module delivery through both in-class and independent study activities enabling students to self-assess and / or be assessed by faculty to determine their progress towards attainment of learning outcomes. Summative assessments also include a formative element with feedback provided to learners. The capstone Applied Business Practice module requires students to integrate the learning from the programme’s modules and apply this to a real-world business scenario or problem, provided with the support of the CCT Industry Engagement Forum.
