How you're assessed

No exam. Flexible portfolio and you get to build your own AI Assistant!

You're assessed on the work you'd be doing anyway — designing lessons, planning assessment, exploring tools, writing policy. The platform captures it as evidence as you go.

Portfolio of evidence

Every learning outcome and assessment criterion is evidenced through work you do on the platform — reflections, artefacts, and chats with your assistant.

Tutor-assessed, IQA-sampled

A qualified tutor grades each submission Pass / Refer. Internal Quality Assurance sampling is built into the platform.

Awarded by Focus Awards

A regulated UK qualification on the RQF — recognised by employers, universities, and Ofsted-inspected providers.
