Hi Paul,

Thanks for your writing. This post reminds me of when I trained to be an instructor in the Australian TAFE sector. TAFE is an acronym for Technical and Further Education. It the sector that trains people for trade occupations: electrician, mechanic, carpenter, etc.

At TAFE colleges, there is no "Pass" or "Fail". The gradings are: "Competent" and "Not Yet Competent" relative to the skill level being assessed.

Fundamentally the meaning is the same but the sub-text matters.

Regards, Tony
