Assessment

The assessment is based on two essays of approximately 4,000 - 4,500 words each, a 4,000 - 4,500 written assignment, and on a practical skills-based assessment to be completed by 1st August. One essay will focus on the underlying theory and philosophy of conflict, the other essay will focus on the theories and processes of conflict resolution. 

The written assessment will focus on the aspects and dynamics of conflict.  The practical assessment will focus on the different processes and skills for moving beyond conflict, and will be on an area of specialisation (which may be related to a particular work context).  To complete the Diploma satisfactorily a pass mark of 40% must be achieved in each of the four assessments.
