A tunnel to KTH with a Welcome text on it

The aim of the Qualification course for examiners is to acquire or update your knowledge of the current rules and guidelines governing examinations and the role of the examiner in order to be able to act correctly as an examiner. During the course, you will learn more about legal certainty, outcome-based, assessment of equal value, and become familiar with KTH's local regulations regarding course syllabuses and examinations.

We hope you will acquire some useful knowledge!

If you want to see what will be covered in the course you can look at key concepts of the course in Swedish and English and examples of questions you will be able to answer after the course.

There is also a Swedish version of this course. Both versions are identical except for the language. Choose one of these courses.
