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

9 criteria

A.P1Describe the purpose of the health and safety legal framework applicable to civil engineering works.

A.P2Describe the role of codes of practice, best practices and industry initiatives in civil engineering.

A.P3Describe the factors that drive change in the context of three civil engineering job roles.

B.P4Describe the processes, plant and materials required in the construction of civil engineering substructure works for a given brief.

B.P5Describe the processes, plant and materials required in the construction of civil engineering superstructure works for a given brief.

B.P6Describe factors that affect the construction of civil engineering works.

C.P7Describe the behaviour of structural elements under given loading conditions.

C.P8Describe the requirements to design drainage systems.

C.P9Describe the factors to be considered when designing civil engineering works.

Merit

7 criteria

Distinction

3 criteria

A.D1Evaluate the factors that drive change and affect the job roles in the civil engineering industry.

C.D3Evaluate the factors that affect the design of civil engineering works.

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.

DescribeAnalyseExplainEvaluate

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.

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.
