Firstly you will need to ensure your previous learning relates to at least three of the four knowledge modules. Once you have identified the areas that you have matched gather your information and provide the evidence required.

Evidence you need to include (if possible) for the assessment:

• A summary of the match between your units and the core knowledge Units.
• You could include unit descriptors or learning outcomes as this would support your evidence.
• You must provide your Higher education award transcript, as evidence of the units studied.
• Include your dissertation title and abstract if this matches the units.

Please remember we can combine units to make a match so include as much evidence as possible to support your application. Your evidence will be assessed and if you have three or more of the knowledge modules you may proceed to obtaining your unique GAS assessment number.
