Instructions for completing the work placement

assessment forms

You will find two assessment forms: an interim and a final work placement assessment
form. Both forms include the list of competencies on which the assessment should be
based.

Interim assessment: We know from experience that an interim assessment report is

beneficial to the student. That is why we would like to ask you to assess the student’s
performance after four weeks of training and to discuss the form with the student.

Final assessment: This form includes a list of competencies as well as a final

assessment that reflects your general opinion of the student’s performance. This
assessment will be the basis for the student’s final assessment, awarded by the college.
Could you please return the completed final assessment form to the college tutor of the
work placement at the latest one week after the end of the work placement? To make
sure the student learns from the feedback given, we would like you to discuss the final
assessment form with the student.

In case of a fourth degree kinship between the student and the company supervisor, the
company is asked to appoint another assessor.
