Where a ‘NYS – Not Yet Satisfactory’ judgement is made, you will be given
guidance on steps to take to improve your performance and provided the
opportunity to resubmit evidence to demonstrate competence. The assessor
will determine and discuss the reasons for NYS – Not Yet Satisfactory on any of
the criteria and will assess you through a different method of assessment e.g.
verbal/oral questioning, problem solving exercises.
You will be notified within 10 working days of undertaking an assessment of their
result in achieving competency
