Bke-course including assessment (English)

bke = basic examination qualification​.

Content

Examination is an important part of education. As a professional you know that assessments are more than the writen examens and assignments at the end of a term, but also include the moments during your classes in which you help provide insight in the progress of your learners.

During this bke (basis examination qualification) training the focus will be on developing your knowledge and skills regarding assessment. Combined with your bko certificate you meet the requirements for the national basic didactic skills qualification (bdb) profile. During this course you will have content moments as well as time to work on your portfolio. At the end, your assessment will take place. You provide a portfolio and participate in a CGI (Criterion Based Interview) with two assessors of which your trainer will allways be the second assessor.

Time investment: the average time investment for the bke course is 40 hours. This is including the course days and the assessment. There are four training days from 9:00 till 16:00 and an assessment day. During the training days you will be supervised by a teacher and you can also work on your portfolio.
