Guidance on delivery The total qualification time for this qualification is 10 hours, of which, 7 are recommended as guided learning hours. TQT is an estimate of the total number of hours it would take an average learner to achieve and demonstrate the necessary level of attainment to be awarded with a qualification, both under direct supervision (forming guided learning hours) and without supervision (all other time). TQT and GLH values are advisory and assigned to a qualification as guidance. This qualification is likely to be delivered in a classroom-based environment. Guidance on assessment This qualification is assessed by an end-of-course multiple-choice exam paper, which should be conducted in line with Highfield Qualifications’ Security and Invigilation Guidelines . This assessment method requires learners to choose 1 of the prescribed options to answer set examination questions. The examination paper for this qualification contains 30 questions that must be completed within 1 hour. To achieve a pass, learners must answer at least 18 out of 30 (60%) questions correctly. Learners will achieve a distinction if they answer at least 24 out of 30 (80%) questions correctly. Completed examination papers should be returned to Highfield Qualifications for marking and results will then be supplied to the centre. Centres must take all reasonable steps to avoid any part of the assessment of a learner (including any internal quality assurance and invigilation) being undertaken by any person who has a personal interest in the result of the assessment. Guidance on quality assurance Highfield Qualifications requires centres to have in place a robust mechanism for the quality assurance of training delivery, and invigilated assessment arrangements. For more information on quality assurance, please refer to Highfield Qualifications’ Core Manual. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Centres may apply to use recognition of prior learning or prior achievement to reduce the amount of time spent in preparing the learner for assessment. For further information on how centres can apply to use RPL as described above, please refer to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Policy in the members’ area of the Highfield Qualifications website. This policy should be read in conjunction with this specification and all other relevant Highfield Qualifications documentation.
