Notes for Tutor and Learners: The assignment is likely to offer some specified opportunities for
Merit and Distinction.
Within the whole unit is necessary to cover the range of M1-M3 descriptors for a Merit award to be
made, but only when having completed all the basic pass criteria. For a distinction to be awarded,
distinction descriptors D1-3 have to be covered across the unit. The Distinction can only be
awarded if all the Pass and Merit criteria have been successfully passed. The indicative
characteristics show a generic performance and the context note breaks it down into applications
to the task and a specific performance allied to that contextualised task. Not all the Descriptors for
M or D will be covered in any one assignment. Merit and Distinction performances can be clustered
together for a particular task and may address single criterion or multiple criteria within reason.
See below for an example for Merit.
Tutors see link and pages 13-21 for extra details.

Indicative characteristics

Context note / reference:

Put in the task number/Assessment criteria reference.
Describes specifically and without ambiguity what the
learner needs to do in order to meet the performance
criteria for Merit or Distinction ( Task performance and
level)

E.g. MERIT
1: Identify
and apply
strategies
to find
appropriate
solutions

E.g. Complex problems

with more than one
variable have been
explored

E.g. Task 1: LO 1-1.1 and 1.2. This is met by

carrying out in- depth interviews which contain
relevant questions based on knowledge of quality
systems. To gain a Merit, learners will show
exploration of the different degrees of role and
interrelationships between them in ensuring
quality for each function. Evaluation will show
bottle-necks and offer solutions.
