ICAS project - how many submissions?

sonya11

Hi

How many submissions did people take to complete this? My first draft came back with lots of NYC but my 2nd has only 2 minor changes to be made and the marker has sent me the exit interview questionnaire to complete so am pretty sure I will be marked as competant on my 3rd submission.

What's the average? How did everyone else do?

Just curious.:confused1:

Mine was 1st submission.

Mine's gone back for its 2nd submission because I forgot to add external stakeholders, and I had a grammar error. Just waiting for it to be marked.

Bongo

2nd submission for me.

My tutor at Kaplan said that around 20% are approved at 1st submission.

Jo Clark

2nd submission for me too.

My tutor said majority of students will need at least two submissions.

I feel a little annoyed that the 2 minor changes I have to make for my third submission should have been in the feedback from my first submission as the things missing were missing in my first.

Oh well, 3rd time lucky!

Just business tax in 2 weeks then all done!!

The average number of submissions is between 2 and 3 which is what you would expect.

This will depend also on any previous experience of report writing and how each training provider operates their submission and feedback process.

Common problem areas encountered in feedback for being NYC include:

- Report not laid out correctly and numbered
- CBA not realistic and lack of monetary values (£)
- Fraud not fully covered or graded
- Mapping document not fully completed

All very easy to fix once you have been told about them and after all are really some of the main areas of coverage to be assessed in the ICAS project.

The key points being does it look the part of a professionally prepared report and can the recommendations be realistically validated.

That just leaves the most important and potentially hardest part of completing the project, mapping all your findings across all the assessment criteria to the satisfaction of your tutor.

To help you achieve this the AAT have produced a very useful assessment guide, copy attached.
