J Guidelines for assessors The assignments submitted by learners must achieve the learning outcomes and meet the standards specied by the assessment criteria for the unit. To achieve a merit or distinction grade, the learners must demonstrate that they have achieved all the criteria set for these grades. Where work for the pass standard is marginal, assessors can take account of any extension work completed by the learners. The suggested evidence listed below is how learners can demonstrate that they have met the required standards. 1* Task LOs and AC number 1.
