Assessment schedule

Assessment is spread across the term rather than saved for the end, so both teacher and learner can see progress while there is still time to act on it.

Week 4: timed business email writing.
Week 6, mid-term: simulated meeting and minutes of action items.
Week 10, final: a project briefing or client proposal, live questions and a written follow-up email.
