The course is designed to assist staff involved in supporting
and tutoring candidates in professional examinations by focusing
on the process of writing examination questions and the examiners
expectations of answers from candidates. The aim is therefore
to increase the pass rates by focusing on examination technique
by ensuring answers address exactly what the examiner would
like in an answer.

content of an examination answer

and syllabus requirements
