Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes are clear statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and/or be able to demonstrate at the end of a period of learning. Module level learning outcomes will be specific to the learning that takes place in a module. Programme level learning outcomes are high level learning outcomes, expressing the knowledge, skills or attributes a graduate of an entire course should be capable of demonstrating.

All certified programme and modules are expected to define a number of learning outcomes.

Learning Outcomes:

• Are learner centred;
• Specify what the learner should be able to do on completion of the course;
• Identify what level of performance is expected from the learner;
• Specify the cognitive, behavioural and affective scope of learning;
• Guide the content of the training/teaching materials;
• Determine delivery methods;
• Identify learning environment conditions;
• Provide directions for evaluation and assessment.
