Sample Level 4 assessment papers

Given below is an example assessment task for the Level 4 qualifications. The example is a task we have written in the style of the actual assessment.

We have chosen to use the study unit on people management as our example topic, though we could have picked from a variety of study units.

It is likely that learners will have to undertake a small number of tasks (perhaps two or three) all of which cover the Unit learning outcomes and all of the assessment criteria. Learners have to satisfy all of the assessment criteria for all of the tasks as set.

Please bear in mind that the example assessment task has been written in the style of the Awarding Bodies' assessment papers and is not an actual assessment paper. However, it should give an indicaiton of the type of thing that will be expected of you for each of the learning levels.
