Which body oversees educational assessments in the given framework?

• A. Authentication
• B. WJEC
• C. Unit 1
• D. Total Marks

Answer: (B)

In this framework, the organization that runs and standardises educational assessments is the body responsible for designing the tasks, setting grading criteria, coordinating marking and moderation, and issuing certificates. That role is filled by WJEC, the Welsh Joint Education Committee, which acts as the awarding and regulating body for this Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology. It ensures consistency across centres and maintains the integrity of the assessment process.

The other options aren’t responsible for overseeing assessments. Authentication is about verifying identity or work originality, not about running the assessment program. A unit is a component of the course, not an external governing body. Total marks refer to the scoring total used to calculate final grades, not the organization that administers the assessments.
