Recording Your Achievement Edexcel Level 3 BTEC National Diplomas / A Level Comparators Your course is made up of units which consist of guided learning hours (GLH)*. These units are internally assessed through assignments set and marked by your tutors. As you complete each unit your tutor will tell you what grade you have achieved – Pass, Merit or Distinction. To ensure that your assessed work has been marked fairly Edexcel checks samples of tutors’ marking. This process usually takes place between January and May; the grades for your assessed units can charge as a result.
