External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA)
An External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA), conducted through the relevant Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) Assessment Quality Partner, is required for issuing this qualification. The assessment will concentrate on the Exit Level Outcomes and Associated Assessment Criteria.
To qualify for EISA, learners must provide proof of completing all required knowledge, practical, and work experience modules specified in the qualification. The statement of result issued by the Skills Development Provider serves as evidence that the candidate has met all the necessary requirements to participate in EISA.
The External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA) is the final national assessment learners must complete to be awarded an occupational qualification, part-qualification, or occupational trade certificate. It is a single national assessment leading to the awarding of an Occupational Certificate. EISA ensures that the assessment of occupational qualifications, part qualifications, and trades is standardised, consistent, and credible.
