Q3 What performance points are related to this qualification?
Answer: We have asked the question of the QCDA for the points value for the entry level qualifications and received the following response: The points for those qualifications have not been worked out - they will not be worked out until required by the AAT tables which is due at the end of August and NDAQ will be updated sometime after that point. In the Foundation Learning Catalogue (see above in Q2) it states that it can take up to three months before performance points are allocated. IMI Awards will communicate the performance points when they are available.

Q4 How are the qualifications assessed?
Answer: The majority will be assessed via observation and oral questioning by the assessor. Some units also contain short learner task sheets for learners to complete independently. The PSD unit, working as part of a group, includes a group task. There is only one on-line mandatory assessment which contains pictures with drag & drop type questions and only a few multiple-choice format questions.
