In these situations, oral assistance shall not be rendered.
d) The candidate shall be suitably proficient in the language to be able to read the questions set in the assessment without assistance.
e) The candidate shall express the technical requirements for the assessment in a manner in which they can be correctly interpreted. Incorrect spelling or grammar shall not prejudice the result of the assessment.
f) If additional time or assistance has been permitted, this shall be clearly stated, with the reason, on the Assessment Report.
4.3 Oral assessment
Where the candidate has limited spoken ability of the language of the assessment, the assessor should provide
additional explanation, without compromising the assessment, at a level appropriate to the work and equipment.
4.4 Results
In order to be considered “Competent”, the candidates shall achieve sufficient marks in every area and section to demonstrate competence. A candidate who does not attain such a result shall be considered “Not Yet Competent” and marked accordingly.
4.5 Reassessment
Where an assessment indicates “Not Yet Competent” in an area or section of the paper, the candidate may be
reassessed for that area or section only after additional training in that area or section.
