The focus of this handbook is to help centres effectively set up and understand the requirements to deliver and assess the components of ELFS to meet national standards of quality assurance.

Please note: Centres must conduct all ELFS examinations in line with the information in the Instructions For the Conduct Of Controlled Assessment (ICCA) document.
