Level 2 Award in Computerised Book-keeping Skills and Level 3 Award in Computerised Accounting Skills
Due to customer feedback and a review of the marking criteria we have amended the Immediate Fail criteria for these qualications. Previously, candidates who failed to produce and submit the Trial Balance or the Audit Trail, received an Immediate Fail. We have now changed the criteria so that failure to produce and submit the Trial Balance or either the Audit Trail or a complete Nominal Ledger will result in an Immediate Fail. This is because the Audit Trail and a complete set of Nominal Ledger accounts contain similar information so it is appropriate that either one could be used for marking purposes. This should also make the assessments less time-consuming for candidates because they will no longer be required to select particular accounts within the Nominal Ledger.
JETSET Level 6
EDI would like to highlight a change to the timing for the JETSET Level 6 Writing examination. It has now been changed from 90 minutes to 105 minutes. An updated version of JETSET syllabus is now available on the website.
CertTEFL Level 5
The EDI Certicate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language accredited at Level 4 on the National Qualications Framework has expired and has been replaced with Level 5 Certicate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (CertTEFL). The new level 5 qualication is accredited on the Qualications and Credit Framework and has been developed through discussions with Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK ), the Sector Skills Council responsible for teacher training in the UK, and the other Awarding Organisations. So what does this mean for centres? As the level 4 qualication has now expired we will not accept any further registrations for this qualication. All centres seeking to deliver the new level 5 qualication must apply for approval through the standard centre approval process, including a site visit. QCF requires the application of a different assessment strategy compared to that of qualications on the NQF. To this end, EDI will now carry out external visits to those centres delivering CertTEFL. You will nd full details of what this involves in the CertTEFL specication found on the LCCI IQ website (www.lcci.org.uk).

concepts and principles. The Revision Book for Level 3 Business Principles and Practice will also provide tips on the application of key concepts, how they are tested in the examination and how to answer different types of questions. These books can be used for self-study and revision as well as within the classroom as a supporting learning resource.

Level 3 Certicate in Marketing and Level 3 Certicate in Selling and Sales Management
EDI is currently reviewing the Level 3 Certicate in Marketing and Level 3 Selling and Sales Management qualications. This is to ensure that they remain relevant to the demands of the current business environment. The new syllabus for each qualication will be available on our website from July 2012. The rst Series examination on the new syllabus will take place in Series 3, 2013 and On Demand examinations will be available from 1 June 2013. In order to allow centres and candidates time to complete the courses based on the current syllabuses, examinations on these will be available concurrently; the last Series examination on the current syllabuses will be Series 3 2013 and On Demand examinations will be available until 31 December 2013.

Dont forget to use the Ask the Experts tool, which is accessible via the Tutors and Teachers section of the LCCI website, www.lcci.org.uk. Here you can contact our experienced qualications development and examining teams to ask them any qualication-related questions that you may have. The service is fast, efficient and will enable you to receive answers from our professional experts, to questions about any of our qualications.

SPECIAL FEATURE
14
Subject: Level 3 Marketing Chief Examiner, Bob Brooks says: 1. Read the question thoroughly and understand what the examiner is asking you to answer. 2. Use relevant real life examples that you are familiar with to highlight your answers. 3. Allocate your time correctly and give relevant length answers in relation to marks awarded. Subject: Level 2 Book-keeping and Accounts Chief Examiner, Margaret Swift says: 1. Answer the question that is required. Marks will not be awarded for any unrequired answers. 2. A ll workings must be shown to avoid valuable marks being lost. 3. L evel 2 candidates must be thoroughly aware of all Level 1 topics.
Subject: Level 3 Certicate in Business Priciples and Practice Chief Examiner, Stephen Jakubowski says: 1. Most questions have a short scenario to provide a context for the answers. You need to read this carefully to identify the key points as your answers need to be relevant to the situation in the scenario. If you provide general answers you will not be awarded the full marks for the question. 2. Do not concentrate on one or two key words in the question - make sure you fully understand what the question is asking and then note down the main points which you will cover before starting to write your answer. 3. Pay attention to the command words used in the questions. Command words tell you the level of detail you need to give in your answers. It is important that you understand how to respond to different command words as this can affect your success in the examination.
Subject: Level 3 Advanced Business Calculations Chief Examiner, Roger Brewis says: 1. Prepare thoroughly for all syllabus areas, as all questions are compulsory. 2. Understand both business and calculations aspects of each topic. 3. Know your subject forwards and backwards, as not all questions are written in the standard, simplest way.
Subject: Level 2 English for Business Chief Examiner, Colin Payton says: 1. Remember that English for Business Level 2 is designed to test your abilities to understand written instructions and to respond to them in English. 2. An answer that does not show these skills is never an appropriate response to a question. 3. P rove that you can both understand a given business situation and communicate appropriately in English by selecting the necessary facts, organising them sensibly, conveying the required message accurately and using your own vocabulary and grammatical structures as far as possible.
