'Cambridge International Study Programme' (CISP) is a two-week residential course that gives you a complete guide to the processes involved in the design and delivery of valid and robust examinations. The next course will take place from 14 - 25 May 2018 in the historic city of Cambridge.
Specially designed for individuals who work for an educational body or an exams provider outside the UK, CISP explains the key principles of assessment - validity, reliability, impact, and practicality - and looks at all aspects of the work of an awarding body, in national and international contexts.
The course is delivered by expert practitioners from Cambridge Assessment with plenty of time dedicated for networking and sharing of best practice with a diverse group of colleagues from around the world.
