Assessment at Glowwellbeing is a written rubric applied to artefacts from your own work. There is no multiple-choice exam. The same five criteria appear in every course so a team can keep scoring after we have left.
Assessment
Work in the laboratories is formative. Facilitators score a sample of attempts in the room so the group can see the sheet in motion. Comments go on the same five criteria that will be used at the end. The point of those scores is to show the standard while there is still time to change the artefact.
The final review is a readout of the pack you submit: brief, template or pipeline, test evidence, data note where relevant, and handover. We sit with the pack and mark each criterion to a band. There is no timed quiz of definitions. A quiz would reward memory of slides. The job after the course is to produce work other people can run, so that is what we score.
Pairs may work together in labs. The final pack is individual for evening cohorts, or team-owned for an in-house group with named authors on each file. Capstone packs name an internal owner who will exist after the clinic, even if that person was not in every session.
Rubric
Bands and criteria are defined on the method page. This table is what we look at when we mark, and the line that counts as a pass.
| Criterion | Evidence we look at | Pass threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Task framing | A written brief with audience, input, output and constraints, stored with the pack. | Band 3: a colleague can understand the job without asking the author. |
| Factual control | Checked claims, named sources, and notes on what was not checked. | Band 3: a method exists and was used on the submitted cases. |
| Reproducibility | Versioned template, log of attempts, and a test set or recorded rerun. | Band 3: another person can rerun the work from the files. |
| Data handling | Source list, redaction notes, and a statement of what must not enter a model. | Band 3: sensitive fields are stripped and the classes of data are named. |
| Handover quality | Instructions, scores, owner, and where the files live. | Band 3: the pack can be opened and run without a meeting with the author. |
Checkpoints
Each level has a checkpoint task. Completing it at Band 3 is what we mean by “closing” that level. Courses map onto these checkpoints; a placement check is a shorter version of the L1 or L2 task.
| Level | Checkpoint task | Accepted output |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | Brief a recurring task, run it, and check the answer in five minutes. | One-page brief, checked draft, and a named failure mode. |
| L2 | Turn the task into a template with a twenty-case set, or a data-readiness note, or a filled risk register — depending on the course. | Versioned artefact plus scores on the five criteria. |
| L3 | Connect the template to a sheet, form or queue with a check between steps. | Running chain, log of runs, fallback note, IT hand-off. |
| L4 | Build a bounded internal assistant and defend its evaluation set. | Prototype, thresholds, documentation, named internal owner. |
Artefacts
Files belong to the participant or, in an in-house programme, to the employer. Glowwellbeing keeps copies only where the booking says we may, for example a redacted sample used to illustrate a later evening. The list names where each artefact first appears.
Certificate
Glowwellbeing issues a certificate of completion with the list of modules, contact hours and the rubric bands reached on the final artefact. It is a record of this programme, on Glowwellbeing letterhead, dated in 2026. This is not an accredited qualification and not a government certification.
We issue the certificate when Band 3 is met on all five criteria or, if a criterion is still at Band 2, when a written follow-up has been agreed and then met. Attendance alone does not produce the certificate. If you need a letter for an internal L&D file before the final review, we can confirm enrolment and hours to date; that letter is not the certificate.
Illustrative briefs
Illustrative briefs used in class. They are composites, not client work. They exist so a mixed evening group has a shared example when someone’s own files cannot be shown. In-house groups replace them with the process chosen at scoping.
Input is a bounded folder of policies and how-to notes, already cleared for internal use. Steps: select sources, redact names, build retrieval, write a brief for typical staff questions, score twenty questions against the folder. Success is measured as Band 3 on factual control and reproducibility, with missed answers logged rather than guessed.
Input is a redacted sample of inbound messages. Steps: write labels, build a template that proposes a route, add a human review point for the unsure band, log every decision. Success is a confusion matrix on the sample and a fallback when the model is down, both written down.
Input is a messy export of reports with duplicate versions. Steps: structure headings, drop empty files, mark sensitive fields, write a data-readiness note, then run a small retrieval check. Success is a note an owner can act on and a list of files that still must not enter a model.
After the course
Each booking includes one follow-up clinic of ninety minutes within six weeks of the last taught block. Bring the artefact as it now lives at work. We rescore if it has drifted and we help with one stubborn failure mode. Materials stay available for twelve months from the first block: templates, recordings of taught segments, and the rubric sheets.
Questions that fit in an email can go to hello@glowwellbeing.life during that twelve-month window. We answer on working days. We do not operate a private chat channel for public evening cohorts. In-house programmes may add extra clinics in the scoping brief if the sponsor wants them in the quote.
