Senior Examiner Qualification

Would you like to strengthen your knowledge and skills in assessment in higher education? Then Risbo's Senior Examiner Qualification (SEQ) course is the right choice for you. The SEQ course is a professionalisation course that focuses on quality of assessment in higher education, at faculty or degree programme level.

Participants 

The SEQ course is designed for (prospective) members of examination boards, program coordinators, directors and faculty learning & innovation officers or policy advisors. Each participant is expected to bring in an ambition or (institutional/faculty) challenge regarding enhancing the quality of assessment within their institution, supported by their examination board and management team - to ensure knowledge dissemination with this institution or faculty. 

Content and organization 

  • Each participant will take on an innovation project/quality enhancement project that contributes to quality (assurance) of assessment within the faculty or institution. 
  • Participants work on various themes regarding the quality of assessment (such as programmatic assessment). They will also analyse and discuss their faculty's assessment policies and the quality of exams.  
  • The sessions are set up to be interactive and are focussed on collaborative learning, vision development and application to participant's practice. 
  • 5 day-sessions are planned for this course. Approximately 70 hours of time investment are required for preparation/homework, meeting attendance and working on SEQ portfolio products. 

Certification 

National learning outcomes and qualities have been determined for the SEQ certification. These guide the proofs of competence that participants must provide to be certified, by means of a portfolio. Whilst preparing and atttending the sessions, participants already gather a lot of building block for this portfolio. After successful completion of the trajectory and positive assessment of this portfolio, participants are awarded a Senior Examiner Qualification (SEQ) and SEQ certficate.  

Registration

The SEQ 2024-2025 interfaculty (EUR) course is full and therefore closed. However, you can already indicate your interest in participating in the SEQ 2025-2026 course. The cost for participation is €3,800 per participant. EUR participation is fully subsidized by the Community for Learning and Innovation, for a limited number of participants. External participation is also possible, but for abovementioned fee.  

Registration for the interfaculty course 2025-2026 can be done by e-mail to training@risbo.eur.nl 
(Customized) in-company course for groups of one particular faculty or institution are also possible.

If we have too many applications, we will select for which candidates the SEQ course is most relevant and appropriate based on the intake interviews.

The SEQ-trajectory has taught me about the many different ways in which assessment can contribute to learning and good and efficient education.
