How to Record the Results of Internal Assessment

The tutor’s final assessment of the candidate’s work should be recorded either on-line via www.cpcab.co.uk/registrations or by completing the CPCAB Candidate Registration and Certification List (form CRC) and returning this to CPCAB. This is normally done by the training centre Exams Officer.

The IA must record one of the following final outcomes:

1. Proficient (P): the candidate has completed all the criteria, achieved all the learning outcomes and met all the qualification requirements.
2. Not Proficient (NP): the candidate has not completed the criteria and/or achieved all the learning outcomes and/or met all the qualification requirements.
3. Left course: the candidate left the course before completing internal assessment.
4. Deferred (D): the candidate is being supported to complete internal assessment but has not yet met all the qualification requirements. Reasons might include incomplete portfolio work or incomplete work to address contra-indications. This option is not available on all qualifications and is usually limited to 3 months.

Candidates undertaking qualifications with a workplace component have up to one year to complete the required practice hours. No further extension is permissible without prior agreement from CPCAB.
If any circumstances arise where the approved tutor(s) is unable to sign off the Internal Assessment for a candidate, the training centre must seek formal CPCAB approval for alternative arrangements.
