• an assignment (marked internally by the college or by Business Education Associates and moderated by ABE)

To pass the PG Dip unit requires a pass mark of 40% or above in both pieces of assessed work.
All examinations fees are to be paid by the student, direct to ABE. Their current list of exam fees is available from www.abeuk.com. The decision of the ABE Council as to the suitability of any candidate will be final.
