Assessment criteria

Reproduced verbatim from the Pearson specification — the same grid the assignment brief carries. A unit grade is the highest band where all criteria in that band (and every band below it) are met.

Pass

7 criteria
A.P1Explain the selection and use of appropriate tools, materials and equipment for roofing.
A.P2Explain the safe use and storage of roofing tools, materials and equipment.
B.P3Carry out a risk assessment prior to commencing roofing tasks.
B.P4Comply with safe working practices including using appropriate personal.
B.P5Calculate gauge and number of courses from technical or manufacturer’s specification.
B.P6Prepare and set up a sloping roof surface.
B.P7Fix plain roof tiles to a sloping roof surface to produce a watertight roof finish.

Merit

2 criteria
A.M1Justify the selection of tools, materials and equipment for a specified roofing task.
B.M2Produce a watertight finished sloping roof surface will all tiles laid to the correct lap and gauge, and all joints correctly bonded.

Distinction

Command verbs in this unit

The verb decides the depth expected — that is what separates Pass from Merit and Distinction work on the same learning aim.

ExplainCarryComplyCalculatePrepareFixJustifyProduceEvaluate
Pearson's ladder runs Identify → Describe → Explain → Compare / Analyse → Evaluate / Justify / Assess. A Merit or Distinction criterion on the same aim always implies the Pass beneath it: an “evaluate” answer that never first “explains” fails, however polished it reads. Hover a verb for what it demands.

Learning aims

  • A. Understand tools, materials and equipment used for roofing tasks
  • B. Develop practical skills using safe techniques to carry out roofing tasks

How checkb.tech checks this unit

Upload a learner's submission and checkb.tech reads it against exactly these criteria, reporting each one as met, partly met, or not met — with the evidence that informed the verdict cited, so every call is auditable.

The check runs against the official Pearson documents for this unit, and identical evidence always produces an identical result — the same script gets the same verdict every time.

It never awards a grade. You stay the assessor: confirm, dismiss, or act on every criterion before your assessment decision is final.
