Which unit is externally assessed and contributes 25% or 50% of the certificate?

• A. Unit 3
• B. Unit 4
• C. Unit 1
• D. Unit 2

Answer: (D)

In this criminology qualification, one unit is designed to be assessed externally to provide a fair, standardized measure across centers. The unit set for external assessment is the second unit. It is completed under externally supervised conditions and marked by an external assessor, which is why its mark has a distinct share of the overall qualification. Depending on whether you’re pursuing the certificate or the diploma variant, this external unit can contribute either 25% or 50% of the total grade. The other units are internally assessed by your teacher, contributing the remaining percentage toward the certificate. So, the externally assessed unit is the second one, and its weighting aligns with the qualification structure as either a quarter or half of the final mark.
