The focus of this training workshop is understanding unit standards,  exam preparation, exam answering techniques, addressing common mistakes and making sure that appropriate materials are used by giving the participants a free copy of a User guide.
  
  

User Forums

These are fora hosted by the IEB for the purpose of bringing assessors, providers and practitioners together to share insights and expertise on assessment matters as well as broader issues that affect adult learning. The IEB hosts its annual User Forum for ABET clients around February/March in Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal.  All ABET providers, facilitators and training managers are encouraged to attend these forums. 

The IEB regularly invites guest speakers who are experts in the ABET field to share their experiences and highlight latest developments within the sector.  We also have report backs from our Mathematical Literacy and Communications examiners and moderators.  They discuss the latest developments in their fields, the structure of the IEB exams and what is expected from the learners and the facilitators.  The IEB also has consultants who will lead discussions on the IEB’s Site Based Assessments for Communications and Mathematical Literacy at NQF 1.


User Guides

These set out the IEB‘s assessment requirements and offer illustrative exemplars of the kinds of evidence and levels expected by the IEB. At NQF level 1, the Site based assessment (SBA) has been made an integral part of the user guide in the following learning areas:  Life Orientation, Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises, Natural Science, Human and Social Sciences and Technology.


Feedback and reporting on assessment results

The IEB provides a Statement of Results for each learner. In addition there are Examiners’ Report for national examinations in which common errors or misconceptions are identified. These assist providers to adjust their facilitation to assist learners.
