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

6 criteria
A.P1Measure and mark out material forms for two component parts of a fabricated structure
A.P2Demonstrate the safe use of cutting and forming tools and techniques when manufacturing two component parts of a fabricated structure
A.P3Safely and accurately manufacture two component parts of a fabricated structure showing a good level of skill
B.P4Use straightforward and more complex types of component to safely assemble two fabricated structures
B.P5Carry out quality control checks for compliance and accuracy during and after the assembly of two fabricated structures
B.P6Safely and accurately assemble two fabricated structures showing a good level of skill

Merit

2 criteria
A.M1Safely and accurately manufacture two component parts of a fabricated structure showing a high level of adaptability and skill
B.M2Safely and accurately assemble two fabricated structures showing a high level of adaptability and skill

Distinction

2 criteria
A.D1Sources of information
B.D2Sources of information

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.

MeasureDemonstrateSafelyUseCarrySources
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. Safely manufacture component parts of fabricated structures
  • B. Safely assemble and check fabricated structures

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.
