In this study, an assessment was conducted, which was based on various theoretical characteristics of high quality competence-based assessments. The quality of two summative competence-based assessment in vocational education, based on a national assessment framework, was evaluated, using a validated set of quality criteria, and involving students, teachers, developers, and employers. The results of this study support many theoretical characteristics and refine them for reaching quality in actual assessment practice. Developers and teachers appeared to be more critical about the assessment quality than students and employers.
