These are the units Pearson EDI registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Pearson EDI. It does the teaching and the mapping. Pearson EDI sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.
