Where the combined marks of the assessment and examination do not reach the pass mark the learner will be required to repeat the element of assessment that they failed. Reassessment materials will be published on Moodle after the Examination Board Meeting and will be aligned to the MIMLOs and learners will be capped at 40% unless there are personal mitigating circumstances.
The objectives of the Sustainability & the Circular Economy module are to define and explain the concept of sustainability and its relevance to various sectors, describe the principles and key components of the circular economy, and review and assess case studies of sustainable practices and circular economy initiatives.
