Council. You will be charged a fee by your local examination
centre (this fee will vary). Examinations are held once
a year, usually in May.

One resit may be attempted for any unit failed. Diplomas will

failed a unit twice or two units once is eligible for a Pass
grade only.
The standard
of the examination for degrees is the same as that for students
studying at a College of the University.
