GLOBAL EXAMINATION
WEIGHT: 100.0%
DEADLINE: To be determined
All assessments for the qualification are intended to allow candidates to demonstrate they have met the relevant Learning Outcomes. Moreover, NCC Education’s assessment is appropriate to the assessment criteria as stated in this specification and is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains consistent with the specification.
An examination is a time-constrained assessment that will take place on a specified date, usually in an NCC Education Center. An assignment requires candidates to produce a written response to a set of one or more tasks, meeting a deadline imposed by the center.
The overall unit mark is computed from the weighted mean of its components. The pass mark for a unit is 40%.
