ABE Examination conditions and regulations - Please read carefully

The ABE QCF qualifications were examined for the first time in December 2011. ABE NQF examinations have been discontinued. Passes achieved in ABE NQF and earlier examinations since December 2001 have been transferred to the QCF examinations (with a few exceptions, see FAQs). Note that the ABE QCF Level 5 Diploma consists of eight units instead of nine under NQF. See ABE website for QCF syllabuses, programme structures, FAQs and the Transition Arrangements from NQF to QCF qualifications.

NQF Business Information Systems (BIS) programme

The NQF BIS examinations have been discontinued after December 2012
and replaced by the Management of Information Systems (MIS) pathway. All BIS passes remain valid and can be used in place of MIS passes to complete the equivalent MIS qualification. Students should consult the transition arrangements on the Members Area for further information.

Qualification titles
The titles of some of our qualifications have changed. Students registered before January 2013 will be able to complete their current level with the previous titles (Higher, Graduate, Graduate Integrated as applicable), but thereafter must progress to the new title. Students registered after December 2012 will be awarded the new titles. Please refer to the website for more details.

Level 4 Diploma progression

Students must pass at least two Level 4 Diploma units by ABE examination
before progressing to the Level 5 Diploma. However, all four units must be passed (as well as all eight Level 5 Diploma units) before the Level 5 Diploma can be awarded.

Access arrangements (Reasonable Adjustments)

To meet its commitment to equality of opportunity, ABE will, as far as is
reasonably practical, endeavour to ensure access for people of all abilities, irrespective of physical capacity, in order that all candidates receive the same level of service and opportunity. Applicants for Reasonable Adjustments should email the Quality and Assessment Department at rasc@abeuk.com no later than Friday 4 April 2014, the closing date for examination entry.

Level 5 Diploma progression

Students must pass at least six units in the Level 5 Diploma to proceed to
the Level 6 Diploma. However, all eight units in the Level 5 Diploma must be passed (as well as all five Level 6 Diploma units) before the Level 6 Diploma can be awarded.

Level 6 Diploma progression

Students must pass at least four units in the Level 6 Diploma to proceed to
the Level 7 Diploma. However, all five units in the Level 6 Diploma must be passed (as well as all five Level 7 Diploma units) before the Level 7 Diploma can be awarded.

ABE Examination Regulations (Conduct during the Examinations)
