Assessment

NG1 is assessed via an open book exam which is administered on-line & must be completed during a set 24 hour window.

NG2 is assessed via a practical assessment carried out following completion of all the units and usually carried out within the delegates’ workplace. On completion of this assessment, the delegate will receive either a pass or refer. NG2 does not contribute to the delegate’s overall grade.

A delegate can receive an overall refer, pass, credit or distinction grade following their open book examination and a pass grade for the practical assessment.
