BRIGHTLINK LEARNING PROFESSIONAL SKILLS SCHEDULE
Each year you have two opportunities to enter your professional skills work for a CILEx submission window. You must enter yourself as you would for an examination and you are responsible for knowing and following the relevant deadlines for this and meeting the costs.
Only work which is assessed to be a pass by your centre’s tutor and internal verifier can be submitted to CILEx. So you must achieve that pass before entering yourself for the assessment via the CILEx examination entry process. If you enter yourself before you have a provisional pass from your Brightlink tutor and internal verifier you may be unable to submit your work to the External Verifier, if this happens you will lose your money and have to pay CILEx again for another opportunity to submit.
Your course subscription with Brightlink gives you two opportunities to submit your assessed work for marking. If you do not pass on your second submission you will move on to the next available course and submit your work in a future assessment window. You will need to pay for another course.
CILEx have very strict rules forbidding most feedback by tutors and internal verifiers. You must ensure you are familiar with their regulations which are followed by Brightlink at all times.
No matter what the opinion of the assessing tutor and internal verifier the final decision of pass or fail lies with the CILEx External Verifier and their ultimate discretion. We have no control over this but will try to advise you on the steps to give you the best chance in that final assessment.
Please note the below are final deadlines. See our terms and conditions for the service level we offer in relation to marking times for skills work. Each marking takes 21 working days. Your tutor has many learners to work with so will be unable to accept work which shortens their marking time or to offer an extension on the below deadlines. It is the learner’s responsibility to plan carefully for these dates. The below applies to all skills units:
