Tips
The ATHE programs are vocational qualifications; this means they are centred around practical and concrete ideas. Students need to provide illustrative examples throughout their assignments and should relate the learning outcomes (LO) to their work environment and professional experience.
For best practice, please divide your essays to sections which answer each specific LO. It is also recommended that you use the LO as a subtitle or heading. This will allow the assessor to navigate through your essay with ease and it will be clear to them that you have answered each LO.
