Code 2 'Partial achievement' should only be used for prescribed HE learning aims where the learner has achieved an award that is at a lower academic level than the qualification they were aiming for as identified by the learning aim reference. For example, a learner who is aiming for an HND but leaves at the end of the first year with an HNC.? There's an injustice there though isn't there?, the student aiming for HND who doesn't EPA becomes a non achiever, a peer who dropped out early with HNC a partial achiever.

We can't then say interpret a student who has completed the learning aim, and been awarded a qualification by the institution as having achieved anything unless they pass the EPA? Seems somewhat unfair, it's quite possible we could have a first class degree student being counted as achieving nothing because either they or their employer opted not to do EPA. - Should we not be able to claim partial achievement in a case like that?
