Near Pass Advantage


  • Learners that have passed 3 skills and have been awarded a Near Pass grade on one skill (up to 3 marks below the passing mark) are considered successful and have passed the exam.
  • The Near Pass Advantage also applies to Refer candidates. When re-examined in 2 or more skills, a Near Pass grade is preserved if the candidate does not achieve a higher score.
  • Refer candidates are eligible to re-sit for 5 exam periods. The first TWO are FREE of charge.

There is no limit to the number of times that a learner may resist the remaining units, although re-sit fees are applicable after the second attempt.
