General
An award will only be made to candidates who have passed
all papers at one level. Students who have only passed one or two
component papers at one level will have their passes credited to
them, but no award will be made until the failed components have
been successfully re-taken.
Failure to pass all components at one
level will not prevent students from continuing with their studies
at the higher level. An award will only be made at the higher level
when the student has passed all components and holds an award for
the lower level.
The Single-Subject awards are made at
Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma level to successful
candidates in such subjects as Word Processing, Computer Literacy,
Lotus 1-2-3, dBASE, MS-DOS and Desktop Publishing. These
Single-Subject awards do not exempt students from any part of the
professional examinations.
Students who enter for an examination
and fail to turn up will be credited with the examination fee
provided that they send a doctor's certificate to the
Association.
