Hints and tips

Re-assessment - just to make you aware that learners who are marked with a referral should only provide additional work for the assessment criteria marked as ‘referred’. Although our assessors will provide feedback next to all criteria, they will only re-assess referred criteria. Once a learner has achieved a ‘pass’ against the assessment criteria it is considered completed. Additions or amendments to previously assessed criteria should be identifiable i.e. a different font, coloured font or highlighted. This helps us identify reworked areas.

Results sheet – a reminder to ensure that learner details are completed on each results sheet prior to uploading. This is required to ensure accuracy of learner details.

E-Certificates & Digital Credentials – e-Certificates are available for ILM & City & Guilds qualifications. These are exact replicas of paper certificates in PDF format. Centres can access their learners e-Certificates from their Walled Garden account. To set up access please contact customer@i-l-m.com. Digital Credentials are also now available for nearly all ILMA qualifications! Enter your learners email address at point of registration and on completion your learners will receive an activation email. To find out more visit our dedicated page.
