Assessment Levels and Modules Listing

Training in the Guild is aimed toward assessment at performance levels.

Levels 1 to 4 are assessed by an external Guild approved assessor, under performance conditions. They may also include some for of workshop where the assessor can gauge the scholar in a rehearsal context.

Should they be passed, they will be awarded, either

Pass

Merit

Distinction 

The assessor can also add a Assessor Star, for extra quality within a level.

All assessments are conducted live and in peron though in exceptional circumstances they can be done virtually, or recorded.

The Foundation level is an outlier as it cove4 situations where there is a limited course of study, but enough time where the scholars have achived a good stand of proficiency but not enough to warrant a Standard assessment. The time doesn't allow for the 3 disciplines of Standardm of if it is not possible to have the Standard assessment.
