Venue

Courses may be held in house at your premises. We appreciate that it is sometimes difficult to release staff on training courses, therefore we offer the flexibility to hold the course either on seven consecutive days or two - three days a week spread over three weeks. We also regularly run public courses at our training centres.

Assessment

The examination consists of a 2½ hour written paper. The paper consists of two parts, A and B. Part A consists of 5 structured questions, worth 15 marks each. All questions must be answered. Part B consists of 3 response questions worth 25 marks. Only 1 question must be answered. Candidates are required to produce two assignments, prior to the examination. Candidates can only sit the examination if the two assignments pass the required mark. Candidates who achieve an overall mark between 60 – 74% will achieve a pass grade, those achieving 75 – 89% will be awarded a merit grade and those achieving 90% and above will be awarded a distinction grade.

If you do not achieve a pass grade, you will be referred. This means that you will be able to re-sit the examination, provided that it is within 12 months of the original examination date. Should you not re-sit with 12 months or fail your second attempt, you would then be required to complete the whole course again.
