Unit 2 is externally assessed and contributes 25% or 50% of the certificate. Which option correctly states this?

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

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how a unit is assessed and how much it counts toward the overall qualification. Unit 2 is externally assessed, meaning the assessment is set and marked by the awarding body rather than by the centre. Its weight to the final certificate can vary, being either 25% or 50% of the certificate, depending on the specific diploma structure you’re following. That combination—external assessment plus the 25% or 50% contribution to the certificate—is why the correct statement is that Unit 2 is an externally assessed unit and contributes 25% or 50% of the certificate. The other options are off because they state the unit is internally assessed or they reference the wrong component (diploma versus certificate).
