Exit Assessment
An assessment that is done to
determine if a learner has achieved the short-term goal as set out on his
training plan or when he leaves the program. In the first situation, the
learner may continue in the program but work towards a new short-term goal.
Exit assessments are not always possible because some learners leave without
notice. However, when they are possible, they allow the tutor and the learner
to examine whether they:
-
have achieved certain competencies or
qualifications;
-
have met the stated goal; and
-
were satisfied with the learning experience.(12)

training or personal objectives. It also gives learners, assessors and
instructors a realistic strategy to meet these objectives.(13)
