Method of Assessment

All assessments are administrated by ABE UK as per global standards. The two main assessment methods are.

1. Timed open-book exams (timed OBEs): Timed OBEs require you to prepare throughout your learning, keeping detailed notes from lectures, study guides, and wider reading. Once the question papers are published you will have three weeks to complete your answers.
2. Assignments: Assignments test your ability to apply knowledge to real-world scenarios. You are required to do greater research and have more control over the format of the work and more narrative is required.

In order to be awarded the qualification learners must achieve a minimum of a Pass in all six units.

You should complete all six modules within one year of their registration. If not, a resubmission fee and annual subscription should be paid; that amount could be received from the UK in the meantime.
