Hi Sarah, I did 22 units which gave me 65 QCF points, maths, English and paediatrics tests and I passed. Your tutor should be assigning you enough units to ensure you pass the diploma - trust in her. If you are still worried go back and talk your concerns through with her - she will be the only person able to put your mind at rest.

Hi Sarah

i was told by my tutor and the guidance i was given by CACHE that you have to complete 65 credits or as you say you have done 67 credits, i did 67 credits too, this was because the optional units are different credits some are 6 credits some are 5,4 and 3, so it depends on how many units you do because of the credit value, i had 4 optional units to take me beyound the 65 credits in total, some people go dead on 65 credits they have still completed the level 3 diploma because that is all you have to do. I chose my optional units but i went for the optional units that i would use within my work role but i then had to do an extra unit because i was 1 credit short. i finished with 20 units in total because i did 2 optional units that were high in credits thay were 11 credits for 2 units.

Don't worry providing your credits are over 65, you shouldn't get any more work.

65 credits to pass, i am working on doing 20/21 assignments to get my 65, i've done 11 assignments so far and got 27 credits but most of them have been worth about 2 or 3 credits x
