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.
