Is there an exam?
You will be required to complete a exam at the end of your course. The pass rate for this is 70% and you must pass this exam to gain the qualification, as well as successfully demonstrate the skills learnt. Should you require any assistance or modifications please let us know immediately so that we can make arrangements for this. Below shows how many questions and the number required to pass:
