1. Introduction

At International Prosafety Academy, we believe that assessment is not just about awarding marks – it is an integral part of the learning journey. Our Assessment & Examination Policy is designed to be transparent, fair, and comprehensive. It evaluates not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills and real-world application.

2. Types of Assessments

We conduct multiple types of assessments to thoroughly measure a student’s understanding and skills.

Formative Assessments:

  • Regular quizzes and assignments
  • Class participation and presentations
  • Practical demonstrations during training
  • Purpose: Continuous feedback and improvement

Summative Assessments:

  • End-of-course or end-of-module examinations
  • Written theory exams
  • Practical exams (real-life safety scenario handling)
  • Viva voce (oral interviews)

Practical Assessments:

  • Mandatory skill tests to demonstrate practical competency
  • Evaluation of real-world safety handling capabilities

3. Grading System

Our grading system is clearly defined and communicated to students at the start of each course.

General Criteria:

  • Theory exams: Weightage varies by course (typically 40-60%)
  • Practical assessments: Weightage varies by course (typically 30-50%)
  • Assignments and quizzes: Balance of remaining weightage

Passing Criteria:

  • Minimum overall marks required: Typically 40-50% (varies by course)
  • Professional certification courses may require 60-70%

Students receive detailed breakdowns of their marks, including theory, practical, and assignment scores.

4. Examination Rules and Code of Conduct

To ensure a fair examination environment, the following rules apply:

  • Valid ID card (academy ID or government ID) must be presented at the exam center.
  • Use of mobile phones, hidden notes, or communication devices is strictly prohibited.
  • Students must deposit their belongings in designated areas before the exam begins.
  • Unfair means of any kind will result in strict action under our Malpractice & Maladministration Policy.
  • Latecomers are generally not allowed, except in genuine emergency cases at the examiner’s discretion.
  • If a student needs to leave mid-exam due to a health emergency, they must inform the examiner.

5. Special Accommodations

Students with disabilities, learning difficulties, or medical conditions may request special accommodations. These are handled under our Reasonable Adjustments Policy. Requests must be submitted at least two weeks before the exam, along with relevant medical documentation.

6. Re-sit and Re-assessment Policy

If a student fails an exam, the following options are available:

  • One re-sit opportunity is generally allowed in the next available session.
  • Re-sit fees may apply and vary by course.
  • The syllabus and exam pattern remain the same for the re-sit.
  • If the student fails the re-sit, the case is assessed individually. Options may include counseling or repeating the course in the next batch.

7. Results Declaration

Results are normally declared within ten to fifteen working days of the exam. Students are notified via:

  • Academy’s official website or student portal
  • Email and SMS alerts

Each result includes a detailed breakdown of marks and grades. Students may request to review their answer sheets within a specified timeline. Any discrepancies can be addressed through our Learner Complaints & Appeals Policy.

8. Certification

Certificates are issued only to students who successfully meet all assessment criteria.

Certification Requirements:

  • Completion of all required assessments
  • Minimum passing marks as per course requirements
  • Minimum 80% attendance (unless waived due to medical reasons)
  • No pending fees or administrative obligations

Certificates include the student’s name, course name, grade, and date of completion. They are signed by the authorized authority and bear the official academy stamp.

9. Attendance Criteria

Attendance is a mandatory component of our assessment. Students must maintain a minimum of 80% attendance to be eligible for examinations. Exceptions may be made for medical emergencies with proper documentation and management approval.

10. External Invigilation and Internal Moderation

We maintain transparency in our assessment process through:

  • External invigilators (non-staff members) for certification exams
  • Internal moderation – answer sheets reviewed by multiple evaluators to ensure consistency
  • Cross-checking and moderation to prevent calculation errors

11. Policy Review

This policy is reviewed annually and updated as needed to align with regulatory requirements and awarding body guidelines.
