  1. Personal or medical grounds
  2. Procedural grounds
  3. The decision was biased or discriminatory

All appeals must be made within 6 months of the certification being taken.

Appellants must be able to provide clear evidence that the decision against which they are appealing meets at least one of the following criteria:

  • Relevant information of mitigating circumstances received by stated deadlines had not been taken into consideration.
  • Substantial procedural irregularity.
  • Evidence to suggest that a decision may have been biased or discriminatory.

It is the responsibility of the appellant to provide Training Bytesize with clear evidence that one of the grounds listed above is valid.

Candidates considering an appeal should take note of the following:

Disagreement with the exam result should be addressed to the examining body as opposed to Training Bytesize who provided the training. We can provide details of the examining body with address and telephone number.
