by obtaining the qualification a person demonstrates that he or she has attained as many of the outcomes set out in the standards as may reasonably be expected to be attained by undertaking a course of education.

has determined the documents relating to the qualification to which F9the Secretary of State considers section A2IA should apply (if any), and

is satisfied that each person (other than the F4Secretary of State ) who F9the Secretary of State thinks is entitled to a right or interest in any copyright in those documents agrees to the right or interest being transferred to the F4Secretary of State (see section A2IA).
