It is piece of paper that you keep. Also, the teacher writes the recommendation in a file for the office.

For early registration, the level is about 60%.

The final pass mark is only 50%.

At SHEC, we want the strongest students to move up.

If you are between 50-60%, you might be not be ready for the next level.

 

NOTE: Many people use SHEC as a way of improving English for life, jobs. etc.

The standards that the teachers follow are the BC Ministry of Education standards.
