Unit 10: Unit 10 — assessment criteria

BTEC International Level 3 Unit 10 (Unit 10) — 60 Guided Learning Hours.

Internal / Optional60 GLH12 criteria

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.P1Define the objectives and requirements of an AI project.
A.P2Produce a project plan for the development of an AI solution.
B.P3Prepare data for an AI solution.
B.P4Develop an AI solution that addresses a defined problem.
C.P5Describe the outcomes of an AI project.
C.P6Describe the impact of an AI solution on users or organisations.

Merit

3 criteria
A.M1Explain how technical, ethical and project planning decisions support the development of an AI solution.
B.M2Test and refine an AI solution to improve outcomes.
C.M3Explain how project decisions influenced the outcomes of an AI solution.

Distinction

3 criteria
A.D1Evaluate the suitability of proposed approaches for delivering an AI project.
B.D2Evaluate the effectiveness of an AI solution using evidence from testing.
C.D3Evaluate the effectiveness, impact and suitability of an AI project.

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.

DefineProducePrepareDevelopDescribeExplainTestEvaluate
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.
