Which component is required to determine the qualification grade by combining all unit results?

• A. Qualification grade
• B. Unit mark
• C. GLH
• D. Pass requirement

Answer: (A)

Final qualification grade is obtained by combining all unit results. In this awarding framework, each unit contributes its mark toward the overall outcome, and these unit results are then mapped to a single grade for the whole qualification. So the component needed to determine the final award is the qualification grade itself—the result produced after aggregating the unit results according to the rules. The unit mark is the score for an individual unit, useful for the build-up but not the final award on its own. Guided learning hours relate to time spent and don’t affect the grade. The pass requirement sets minimum standards, but it isn’t the final determiner of the qualification grade.
