Currently learners seeking certification from QQI are assessed using one or more of six assessment techniques: assignment, collection of work, examination, learner record, project or skills demonstration. Depending on the technique, the assessor is required to devise an assessment instrument of either an assessment brief or an examination paper.

Assessment Brief:
For every assignment, collection of work, learner record, project or skills demonstration, the assessor is required to write an assessment brief. This brief is the set of instructions given to the learner outlining the requirements and assessment/performance criteria of each piece of assessment.
