اعتبارات التقييم والالتحاق

الالتحاق والاعتراف: Delivery and assessment require an approved qualification route. Practical assessment and quality-assurance awards require access to suitable real assessment evidence; knowledge-only awards do not demonstrate assessor competence. Total qualification time includes guided learning, independent work and assessment-related activity. The modules shown are proposed study themes, not an official unit list; the approved specification takes precedence.
