Specialised Codes

Two three hour national examination papers will be set comprising 100 marks each. No admission requirements are necessary.

The pass mark for Paper 1 and Paper 2 is 50%.

Both examination papers may be written during the same trimester period. However, candidates need not to pass both examinations during the same trimester, but the second examination must be passed within 12 months of the first, otherwise both examinations must be re-written. However, if a candidate obtains 75% of 100 marks in any one of the examinations, he or she will be permanently exempted from re-writing that examination. A minimum pass of 50% for each examination paper must be obtained in the instructional offering Specialised Electrical Installation Codes. An appropriate statement of results will be issued by the Department of Education.

For accreditation purposes, all candidates must also have proof of competence with regard to the required unit standards prescribed by the Department of Labour.
