The programme

Seven modules, one executive journey

Each module is an online certificate course of about six weeks, one unit a week, at four to six hours a week: short, narrated, data-led lessons with decision scenarios, simulations, cold calls and cohort discussion, then a scored quiz each week. Complete a course to earn its certificate; complete all seven for the programme certificate. Your written work, presentations and examinations are marked against published rubrics, moderated, and released with a clear account of how every mark was reached.

How you are assessed

Every mark explained, every result signed off by people

Results are banded: Distinction from 70, Merit from 60, Pass from 50. Quizzes, exercises and decisions are scored by the tool the moment you finish. Written work is marked against rubrics. Nothing is final until a marker, an internal moderator, an external moderator and the assessment committee have signed it off, as the CHE assessment policy and POPIA section 71 require.

Read the assessment rules
  1. Calculated: the tool scores the item or applies the rubric scores entered
  2. Marker confirmed: a named marker confirms or changes every mark
  3. Internally moderated: a sample is checked by someone not involved in teaching the module
  4. Externally moderated: summative tasks are checked by an independent external moderator
  5. Ratified: the assessment committee approves the results
  6. Released: you see your result, how it was calculated, and how to make representations
