Question 1

When becoming part of DLAP, you will be able to receive a professional designation. This is not a qualification; this is a designation that will enable you to increase your value to the workplace. DLAP will provide you with professional recognition in your role as an assessor.

If you require a qualification of sorts, DLAP partners with industry-leading service providers who are able to offer you these. Please feel free to contact them for further guidance.  (Click here)

Question 2
What are the key elements that drive assessment?

DLAP subscribes to the Assessment Principles of VACCS, and for every assessment conducted the assessor needs to ensure that these are applied. As the baseline of any assessment, from formative and summative, recruitment, performance management, systems analysis etc, these principles ensure that the human factor is maintained.
