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.
In the event of illness, and upon receipt of a medical certificate
and transfer fee of 15 by Monday 23 June 2014, the unit(s)
will be transferred to the next examination session, December 2014.
Transfers will not be accepted without payment of the 15 fee.

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.

ABE Examination Regulations

(Conduct during the Examinations)
Candidates must take their national Passport or National Identity Card or
Photographic Driving Licence to each examination and place it on their desk.
If candidates cannot or will not provide these documents when requested, it
will result in their examination script(s) not being marked. Repeated breaches
may lead to termination of membership of the Association.

A candidate must not communicate in any way with another candidate

or any other person (except an invigilator) during the examination and must
not disturb other candidates.

Candidates are not allowed to use mobile phones or similar devices for any
communication during the examination. Mobile phones or similar devices
must not be used as calculators. Such use will result in the cancellation of
ALL scripts from that examination session (ABE regards an examination
session as the whole week of the examination).

Candidates who fail to comply with the ABE Examination Regulations (Conduct
during the Examinations) will be disqualified and all their examination script(s)
from that session will be cancelled.

Candidates are not allowed to have on their examination desk: books, data
tables, notes, paper, dictionaries (including bi-lingual or electronic) or any
other written material (even if it does not relate to the examination being
sat), EXCEPT where text books and notes are allowed and this is stated on
the question paper. The possession of such material during the examination
will result in disqualification from the examination.

Notification of results
Candidates will be notified individually of their examination results, normally
about two months after the examinations.

Examination results will not be issued to any candidate who owes annual
subscriptions or any money to ABE.

Result slips indicate Pass or Fail and alphabetical grades (for details see the
ABE website); it is not the policy of ABE to disclose the marks awarded.

Award certificates are sent separately from result slips and should be
received within three months after release of examination results.

Non attendance

Transfers
Candidates may transfer their examination entry to the next session,
December 2014, providing the transfer request with 15 transfer fee is
received by Monday 12 May 2014. The transfer cannot apply to any
unit(s) other than the original entry.
A notification slip will be sent to all candidates approximately two weeks
before the start of examinations. If you do not receive your notification slip,
you should print one from the ABE Members Area on the ABE website (see
below) or request a copy from the ABE office at least one week before the
start of the examinations.
You must take the notification slip to every examination you sit.
Notification slip
There is no limit to the number of units for which candidates may enter.
Do not enter for units whose times clash, as the timetable cannot be
rescheduled.
Unit (subject) entries
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 5 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.
Level 4 Diploma progression
You should check the ABE website www.abeuk.com for rules on compulsory and optional units before submitting
your examination entry form.
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.
Level 6 Diploma progression
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.
NQF Business Information Systems (BIS)
programme
Examination fees are not refundable. If a candidate fails to attend an
examination, the examination fee cannot be refunded.
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.
