Once you are regularly scoring 85% or above on the Self Assessments and Revisions provided, you should be ready for final assessment.

Booking the Assessment

The first step is to inform your tutor who will then oversee the booking process and provide all of the information you require.

Approved assessment centres are now located in most major towns and cities within the UK, with over 70 in total.  Your tutor will provide details of the nearest centres according to your postcode.

Once a suitable centre has been located an assessment can be booked with around 10-14 days notice.  Assessments normally take place within office hours.

The total fee for final assessment is £89.00. This is paid on the day of the assessment, to the centre that you attend.

If your closest centre is not within a convenient distance, or for some reason is unsuitable, we can arrange for the assessment to be held in a “temporary assessment centre”.

Here we approach more convenient training providers (such as local learndirect centres) and ask them to conduct the assessment on our behalf.

This does not incur any extra costs but the extra paperwork can increase waiting time up to around 21 days.

About the Assessment

The final assessment is paper-based and consists of 100 random questions to be completed within 1 hour.  The questions are a mixture of multiple choice and ‘short-answer’, meaning no more than a sentence will need to be written.

The papers are then marked externally which takes around 10 days, you will then be informed of your results.

Should you score 75% or above you will be awarded the National BTEC Award in Computer Engineering, with your official certificates arriving 4-6 weeks later.

Re-sits

Should you not score 75% at the first attempt you are free to re-book the exam at the price of £65 as many times as required. 

HOWEVER ……..

The first-time pass rate of someone sitting the final exam is OVER 99%.  This is because the syllabus, final exam and coursework have been designed by the same team in order to ensure that every piece of information you require is included. 

If someone follows the eLearning interface from start to finish, they will almost certainly pass first time.

The course has no entry requirement or age restrictions.
