Basic training for examination boards

Examination Boards are responsible for ensuring the quality of testing and examining of one or more programmes. During this training, examining boards discuss how they fulfil their task and how they can possibly strengthen their role as an examination board.  

    General

    Course content

    The role of examination boards in higher education is becoming increasingly important. Educational innovations and the quality of assessment are increasingly becoming topics of discussion, with the examination board also being an important stakeholder. However, the positioning and tasks of the examination board remain a complex construct. In this course, the frameworks for the work of examination board members will be clearly outlined by addressing questions such as:

    • What are the legal tasks and responsibilities of the examination board?
    • What is quality of assessment?
    • What is quality assurance?
    • Who will I be dealing with in my role as an examination board member?

    Target group

    This course is specially designed for new examination board members and focuses on properly framing and fulfilling the role.
