CASE STUDY PACKAGE

OVERVIEW OF THE ASSESSMENT PHASE

Registration into the Case Study Package entitles you access to contact sessions and case study assessment within the assessment phase of our APC Professional Programme. If you would like to access any other sessions or value adding elements, you can purchase these at a nominal fee on our online learning platform.

There are three case study assessments, namely:
1) baseline case study assessment,
2) final case study assessment and
3) the supplementary case study assessment, that you will be entitled to sit for.

You will be required to comply with all our case study administration process to ensure that your scripts are marked.

In addition, you will be entitled to access the reflection pack for each of these case study assessments and attend / access all the feedback sessions covering the discussion of the IOD analysis and unpacking the marking grid and strawman. A reflection pack consists of reflection videos analysing the pre-released information, the specimen solution, marking grid and the seeded scripts. The objective of the reflection pack is to assist with the process of self-reflection and self-assessment ahead of the feedback sessions and the release of the case study assessment results.

You will also be entitled to attend any non-technical sessions that are delivered during the assessment phase that are aimed to improve your case study assessment answering techniques. This may include motivational sessions and case study guidance sessions delivered by external guest speakers who are previous candidates, professional coaches and mentors.
