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.P1Explain the impact of the hospitality industry on the environment and the responsibilities to stakeholders in maintaining sustainable policies.

A.P2Describe the benefits and challenges of running a sustainable business.

B.P3Plan research into an environmental issue.

B.P4Carry out research into an environmental issue.

C.P5Develop a plan for an environmental policy for a hospitality business based on research findings.

C.P6Explain how the success of the policy may be measured.

Merit

3 criteria

A.M1Assess the importance of meeting the benefits and challenges when managing a sustainable business.

B.M2Analyse the results of research into an environmental issue.

C.M3Present a justified policy that takes into account resources required and measurement of success.

Distinction

2 criteria

BC.D2has not been met as you have not evaluated the findings of your own research onto the environmental impact of fast-food companies, not have you evaluated the extent to which your proposed policy meets the needs of the organisation or the likelihood of its success

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.

ExplainDescribePlanCarryDevelopAssessAnalysePresentEvaluateHas

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 the impact of the hospitality industry on the environment
B. Undertake research into an environmental issue in a hospitality business
C. Develop an environmental policy for a hospitality business

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.
