ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Candidates seeking admission to the LRN Level 5 Diploma in Business and Enterprise or LRN Level 5 Extended Diploma in Business and Enterprise program should meet one of the following requirements:

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)

ASSESSMENT
Mandatory units are assessed through an externally set assignment that is internally marked by the center and moderated by LRN. Optional modules are assessed through externally set assignments that are externally assessed and moderated by LRN. Assessments occur at the unit level with no overall grade for the Diploma. Candidates can access the qualification in a unitized approach, if desired, and are assessed against the published learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
Each unit is graded as pass or fail. Candidates who fail must wait at least three months before re-sitting to allow for sufficient knowledge enhancement.
MODE OF DELIVERY
LRN does not prescribe a specific mode of delivery for the LRN Level 5 Diploma or Extended Diploma in Business and Enterprise program. Centers may offer the program through various formats, including full-time, part-time, evening classes, or distance learning, to accommodate candidates’ needs. Regardless of the delivery mode, centers must ensure that candidates receive an appropriate teaching program aligned with the qualification’s requirements.
