Professionals who act as the architects of assessment quality within higher education will find this track essential for sharpening their strategic oversight. Designed for those already deeply embedded in the assessment landscape—such as programme managers, examination board members, and assessment experts—this programme moves beyond the mechanics of testing to focus on the philosophy and policy frameworks that govern academic integrity and student success.

The Senior Qualification Examination (SKE) is a trans-institutional track that thrives on cross-pollination. By bringing together practitioners from various HBO and university backgrounds, participants gain a broader perspective on how assessment visions are implemented across different institutional climates. You will develop the capacity to guide colleagues, refine programme-level assessment policies, and act as a catalyst for continuous quality improvement.

This qualification is specifically tailored for those who have already mastered the fundamentals (BKE-certified) and are now ready to take on a more systemic role, ensuring that assessment remains a robust, valid, and reliable pillar of the academic experience.
