“TVET and TTC Practical Examinations and Subsidiary subjects are graded on a two-point scale with six(6) and Zero (0) as well as with one (1) and Zero (0) respectively. “

“The maximum weighted aggregate achieved by a candidate who has excelled in all examinable subjects is sixty (60) while the minimum weighted aggregate achieved by a successful candidate is nine (9).”

“For TVET and TTC, passing a practical examination at a grade level of ‘A’ is a “PASS” condition”
