Unit 1 is described as internally assessed and contributes 25% or 50% of the certificate. Which option reflects this statement?

• A. Internally assessed unit, 25% or 50% of certificate
• B. Externally assessed unit, 25% or 50% of certificate
• C. Internally assessed unit, 25% of diploma
• D. Externally assessed unit, 25% of diploma

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how assessment and weightings are allocated to units in a Level 3 Applied Diploma. When a unit is described as internally assessed, it means the work is completed under teacher supervision, marked internally, and moderated within the college or school. The statement then specifies that this unit contributes 25% or 50% toward the certificate, which is the overall qualification, not toward the diploma. So the description that best fits is an internally assessed unit with a weighting of 25% or 50% to the certificate. The other options would imply external marking or a weighting to the diploma, which doesn’t match the stated description.
