used to assess student learning outcomes.
1. Observation of performance, this is done while task is being
performed or is when a trainee is performing a given task. Observation
has several strengths. This is an easy method to determine all
trainees steps. During observation, a trainee shows a highly and
quality evidence of his/her competence. This is usually an instructors
duty or responsibility. It is a part of continuous assessment basis. Also
its evidence is used for assessment. Observation also has its
weaknesses. Time for demonstrating competence is limited. Some of
interferences may affect quality and time allocated for assessment.

2. Assignment method, these are strategies, techniques, tools and
instruments for collecting information to determine the extent to which
student demonstrate desired learning outcomes. Strength; this is a
method that give a trainee a freedom. This method can enable trainee
to perform social activities simultaneously with assignment. Time
allocated during assignment can be enough for collection of some vital
information and references. Time also can be effective for making
some corrections and doing tests on what trainee had prepared. This
method also can be done in groups. Weaknesses; This method can
contribute into losing some of points if not performed on time.
Individual react differently in a test situation. This can also cost on
collecting some of references.
3. Written examination, this a method whereby assessment is done
by written questions. Strength; information for assessment in areas
where knowledge forms a key component of competent performance.
Areas of knowledge and understanding can be well structured.
Weaknesses; need a lot of time for assessors to review and mark

responses. The method need a qualified and skilled person for

responses judgment.
4. Oral questioning, this is when assessment is done by asking
trainee some verbal questions. Strength; valuable tool for collecting
evidence across full range of activities. This method can be rigorous
and standardized with planning and structure. Method is also easy
since it costless. Weaknesses; evidences collected would not be
sufficient for competence assignment. Some questions may be out of
what is supposed to be assessed. Assessors can often answer their
own questions.

PROFIT = 30 per cent of total cost.
Formulae = total cost x 30/1000 = 3,649,000 x 30/100 = 1,094,700/=
Fee = total cost + profit/no of trainees.
Fee = 3,649,000 + 1,094,700/14 = 338,836/=
