Do the courses/does the course include graded assessments?
Yes, all certificate courses include graded assessments to evaluate both your understanding and your ability to apply key concepts. These assessments are designed to help you create tangible outputs, such as sustainability action plans or strategies, that you can directly apply in your current or future professional roles.
When and where can I submit my assessment?
Assessments must be submitted during the ISS Assessment Window, which is held every two months. Submissions are made via email to the official ISS assessment address. Detailed submission instructions and deadlines are available on the course page within the Learning Management System (LMS), which you gain access to upon enrolment.
When will I receive my results?
Your assessment will be reviewed by the ISS academic team, and results will be released in the month following your chosen assessment window. You will be notified via email once your results are available.
What will be the grading criteria for the assessment?
Grading criteria will be tailored to each assessment’s specific nature and scope. Emphasis will be placed on practical application, critical thinking, and strategic insight rather than purely numerical performance.
Assessments will be evaluated across three categories:
- Distinction 85 – 100 – Demonstrates exceptional understanding and application. Work is consistently insightful, original, and of a high professional standard.
- Merit 75 – 84 – Demonstrates strong understanding with thoughtful analysis and application. Work is well-structured, clearly communicated, and above standard expectations.
- Pass 70 – 74 – Demonstrates adequate understanding and application. Meets the essential requirements with some minor areas for improvement.
