Within assignments there will always be requirements for Learner’s to engage with important and relevant theory that underpins the subject area

There must be valid, sufficient, and authentic evidence of all the assessment criteria.

Submitted assignments should be marked by an assessor. In order to pass a unit, a learner must achieve 40% marks in each assignment.
