Pharmacy Act, 1974 (Act No. 53 of 1974)

The methods of assessment for the course must include both formative and summative assessments, i.e. formative assessments in the form of work assignments and a formal summative assessment by means of an examination at the end of the course. The examination at the end of the theory part of the course must be in the form of a written/online examination. The summative assessment at the end of the practical session of the course must be in the form of a practical examination i.e., an objective structured clinical examination. Assessments should accurately reflect the number of hours allocated to each study topic. A learner should obtain an average of 70% across formative assessments to be able to write the summative assessment. The final mark for the summative assessment should also be 70% to pass the supplementary training on family planning (reproductive health).
