The Result Methods module sets the logical criteria the system uses to determine whether a learner is promoted, retained or transferred. Rules are configured per education phase and are essential for accurate year-end results and promotion schedules.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not change the phase after I have started?

The education phase cannot be changed once creation of the method has begun. This prevents cross-contamination of data and ensures that phase-specific logic remains isolated for accurate reporting.
