The new toughened apprenticeships will mean apprentices completing their training will be graded as either pass, merit or distinction, and at least two thirds of the assessment will take place at the end of training, rather than the current continuous process.
At the end of the study, the results were graded as either good, fair, or poor by taking into account the dexterity score, the hand grip strength, the sensibility, and the appearance of the hand (Table 2) (Figs. 4, 5).
Apprentices completing their training will be graded as either pass, merit or distinction, giving a clearer impression of their level of achievement, rather than a simple pass or fail.
Tumors were blindly graded as either encapsulated, non-invasive tumors (IT) or invasive carcinoma type 1 or 2 (IC1,2) as described [16].
Vaccinations were well tolerated, with only one related adverse event graded as severe (Grade 3 injection site erythema) and all other vaccine related adverse events graded as either mild or moderate.
Severity was graded as either absent/none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1, easily tolerated), moderate (Grade 2, interfered with activities of daily living), or severe (Grade 3, prevented activities of daily living).
Adverse events were graded as either mild (easily tolerated), moderate (interfered with activities of daily living), or severe (prevented activities of daily living), and assigned causality relative to the study vaccine.
Retroperitoneal fat (kidney fat) stores were graded as either present (good) or absent/minimal (poor).
