The National Quality Mark Scheme for Land Contamination Management (NQMS) is a scheme that has been developed by the National Brownfield Forum (formerly known as Land Forum) to provide visible identification of documents that have been checked for quality by a Suitably Qualified and experienced Person (SQP). It provides increased confidence and improved quality of submissions made under regulatory regimes, particularly planning applications, related to previously used land.
The National Brownfield Forum has facilitated the development of this nationally recognised system for ensuring a satisfactory standard of work that, through endorsement by the Forum and through joint ownership by National Brownfield Forum members, can be considered to have support and acceptance across the community.
The initiative is supported in principle by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and a positive response has also been received from individual devolved administrations.
Column 1 applies to all final honours assessment that is classified and is to be used for the overall classification of honours degrees. The notation in columns 1, 2 or 3 may be used for the classification of each paper or discretely identified unit of assessment employed by the Board of Examiners in determining the overall classification.
CMS2 applies to all assessments including all professional degree examinations in Veterinary Medicine. The marks, grades and descriptions in those columns apply both to the overall result and to individual units of assessment contributing to the overall result. Professional degrees may be awarded with distinction in Veterinary Medicine, but are not otherwise classified.
This scheme applies to all examinations related to the MBChB. There is the potential for exemption for specific items of assessment. Professional degrees may be awarded with honours in Medicine, but are not otherwise classified.

To provide recognition to data centre operators that have successfully deployed Green Data Centre best practices and demonstrated superior energy and environmental performance, BCA and IMDA have developed the Green Mark scheme for Data Centres. The scheme comprises of a rating system which enables DCs to benchmark their degree of greenness with respect to their peers. Rating DCs in categories such as "Platinum", "GoldPLUS" and "Gold" provides the impetus for DC operators to track, manage and improve their energy efficiency performance to reduce operating cost and also improve the corporate branding.
BCA-IMDA Green Mark for Data Centres scheme comprises of a dedicated green building rating system for Data Centres (DCs) that is designed to encourage the adoption of energy efficient design, operation and management of data centres. The scheme is jointly developed by Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and IDA with supporting partners from Energy Research Institute @ Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N) and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (LBNL) in the US.
Using the performance based green building rating system it is possible to score the impact of green policies, systems and processes that are implemented at the DC. Based on the total score of the DC a final rating (Platinum, GoldPLUS or Gold) is provided that is valid for a period of 3 years and has to be renewed thereafter.
The rating system covers performance efficiencies in areas such as energy, water and environment, with a significantly higher emphasis placed on energy performance of the DC. The scheme covers both existing data centres and new data centres and applies to data centres that are housed in purpose built buildings as well as those that occupy just part of a larger building. The details of criteria and assessment process are available on BCA website at here.
Have a clear idea of the work you want to be done and research the probable cost and timescales. Remember that good people are in demand, so you may need to wait for the right tradesperson to do your work
Always use a written contract. Both you and the tradesperson then have a clear written agreement about what is going to be done, when and how much it will cost. It offers you protection should anything go wrong and agree any changes to the contract in writing.
Tip: Depending on the work you want to do, your property and personal circumstances, you may be able to access financial help from the government, local authorities or energy supplier schemes. Click here for further information
Past papers are a useful revision tool. They enable you to gauge your subject knowledge and uncover your strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to understand what areas you need to devote more time to and conversely, what areas you can devote less time to.
For each of our qualifications, there will be several past papers available from previous years. There are also tiered papers available for certain subjects and the corresponding mark schemes are also available. You can download the mark scheme for each year to mark your work with each paper.
You can find modified large print and modified language past papers in the same way. If you require a braille version, are unable to locate a particular modified question paper or have any other queries relating to modified papers please email modifie...@wjec.co.uk.
The WJEC Publication Policy explains when WJEC examination documents such as past papers and mark schemes are made available to registered examination centres and to members of the public.

The University uses a conceptual equivalents scale for the assessment of student work. The use of the conceptual equivalents scale is mandatory unless answers are either right or wrong, for example multiple choice or numerical assessments. Exemptions from the use of the scale, for example due to the requirements of professional, statutory or regulatory bodies, require approval by Education Committee (Quality and Standards).
For quantitative components of assessment, this will be an integer between 0 and 100 corresponding to the grade descriptors of either the undergraduate or the postgraduate conceptual equivalents scale.
Continuous assessment/coursework submitted after the deadline will be penalised. This is calculated at the rate of 5% of the total marks awarded for that component for each partial/full calendar day late up to a maximum of five calendar days, after which a mark of zero should be awarded, i.e., up to one calendar day is - 5%; up to two calendar days is - 10%; up to three calendar days is - 15%, etc. This excludes University closure days.
Exemptions will be granted only if the student has submitted an exceptional circumstances application, or where flexibility with deadlines has been agreed under an Individual Student Support Agreement (ISSA). Extensions to deadlines will be proportionate to the impact of the student's circumstances.
*The weighting applied to a module depends on the stage in which the module is taken. For example, the relevant Stage 2 weighting would be applied to a Level 3 module taken in Stage 2. Likewise, a Level 2 module taken in Stage 3 would be weighted as a Stage 3 module.
** To truncate a number is to discard digits past a certain point in the number. To truncate a number to 1 decimal place, all the digits after the first decimal place are discarded so 68.6895 becomes 68.6.
For students enrolled prior to 2020-21: The programme mark is rounded to an integer for the purpose of determining degree classifications or award. For example, a weighted average mark of 59.7 is rounded up to 60, giving the student a 2.1.
For students first enrolled in 2020-21 and thereafter: The programme mark must be used for the purposes of degree classification or award (i.e. this should not be rounded to an integer). For example, a weighted average mark of 59.7 is retained to determine the degree classification or award. For Classified Undergraduate Programmes this mark would allow the student to be considered for predominance.
All four of these criteria must be met before a module can be discounted. A Board must not, for example, discount a failed module, or discount the lowest module mark without supporting evidence that it is unrepresentative. However, medical evidence is not required if a Board of Examiners wants to discount a module under the degree classification procedures.
The Secretary to the Board of Examiners must ensure that the reasons for any decisions relating to the discounting of modules are recorded in the minutes. This includes any cases where, after considering the evidence, the Board has decided not to discount a module.
The Predominance Rule must be applied by all Boards of Examiners except where the Director of Education and Student Services has granted exemption from its use. Exemption will be granted only where it is required by validating/accrediting bodies.
