How is it assessed?

Very simply. There are two assessments – one covering knowledge and one covering skills. 

1. The knowledge assessment consists of 25 multiple choice questions to assess students’ knowledge of Internet safety (such as the meaning of words or how to avoid certain threats)
    
2. The practical assessment involves maintaining a diary (or a blog) to describe student activities and demonstrate how they protected themselves.

The knowledge assessment element of the qualification, covering outcomes 1, 2 and 3, is delivered and marked automatically through SOLAR. If you are an existing SQA Centre you can access the assessments for this qualification by contacting SOLAR on solar@sqa.org.uk.
