Best regards

Unit 305 LOL1

Hi Chaps here is the mark scheme for LOL1 to help you check you are on the right lines 

Guidance for allocating marks

This section provides further guidance for the assessor on how to award marks within each mark

band in an objective way.

Marking grid A

Assessment focus LO.1.1

Mark Band 1–3

(0–9 marks)

There are typically up to 2 marks for each of the two descriptions, but could

go to 3 marks if either the consequences of failure or the effect on

production is answered well and above that required for this mark band but

up to a maximum of 4 marks.

Up to 2 marks can be awarded for the explanation of the effects and should

be based on the how well it shows the effects are appropriate to customer

expectation and corporate image and 1 mark can be awarded for linking

image and customer expectation within the explanation.

Up to 2 marks could be awarded for indicate why consequences affect

corporate image; this could be in the form of advantages and limitations.

Unit 305 Snow work

Dear All


If you can look at Unit 5 as we have just started this unit. . I recommend you look at the mark scheme as we have been doing in class as this will assist in getting the marks clearly allocated for Learning Objective LOL1  
You will have downloaded this into your area already.

You need to clearly identify 2 areas. of maintenance.  Suggest areas of  System failure, such as the case study  on the Bombadeir undercarriage, Rail signal failure

New Unit 305

Hi chaps
Pleased with the exam and your feedback from it. Looks like you should have done well and you appeared to have got the majority of the marks in the feedback session.   Well done


We have now started Unit 5 and this is the maintenance unit . Following the lesson ensure you have downloaded all the unit documentation into your area.. I need you to research
Plant   equipment and system with a view to maintanence so you have a clear view tto this before next lesson. That way we can start unit 5 LO1.1 and have an idea as to covering 2 areas

See if you cxn find some examples of these failures, Plane rail crashes etc.
