(b) ask candidates to describe procedures used and summarise findings either orally or
written; and,

(c) ask candidates to explain specific aspects of the analysis.

6. Submission Guidelines

The candidate should utilise digital submission when delivering milestones to the teacher.
Teachers should collect the candidate’s completed SBA in a digital format.
