The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) will offer the ABET Level 4 examinations in October 2008 in accordance with the applicable rules, criteria and standards.
|
| 2. |
All registered WCED community learning centres are requested to enter their candidates for examinations in the learning areas of their choice, provided that the candidates have completed all the unit standards in the learning areas concerned. Where possible, all the learning area needs of candidates will be met. However, the Directorate: Examinations Administration reserves the right not to offer examinations in learning areas where there are too few entries.
|
| 3. |
The examination for a learning area counts 50% of the marks, while the remaining 50% will be derived from moderated site-based assessment portfolios.
|
| 5. |
Centre managers are requested to complete one of the enclosed entry forms for each candidate who wishes to enter for the examinations. The entry form of a candidate who is absent from an examination, owing to illness or other unavoidable circumstances, must be signed by the centre manager, who must also indicate, next to his or her signature, that the candidate was absent.
|
| 6. |
Regarding the request for an "entry type" on the form, please use the appropriate code to indicate whether the candidate is from a departmental (public) or an independent (industry) adult learning centre.
|
| 7. |
Note that no changes in learning areas will be allowed after the entries have been finalised. Entry forms must, therefore, be completed accurately.
|
| 8. |
All completed entry forms, arranged in alphabetical order, and Annexure A must reach the Directorate: Examinations Administration by Friday, 22 August 2008. No late entries will be accepted.
