MACCI 2.0 (Digital Portfolios) runs from April 2020 – March 2021 and there are a few changes from the 1^st Edition which is valid until March 2020.

1. All distance students have to register their exams via the student portal as no manual registrations are available as of 2020.
2. Distance students can complete voluntary / paid postponements on the student portal – provided that it is before the closing date and the exam has not previously been postponed.
3. Portfolios for all ICB subjects will be digital only as of April 2020 (excluding Workplace Portfolios).
4. The hard copy of the Admin Guide has been removed from the portfolio and is digitally included. This means that no Admin Guide needs to be completed in hard copy as of April 2020.
5. For subjects (excluding RPL and RTAP), assignments will still be downloaded and printed but no longer need to be scanned and uploaded to MACCI as of April 2020. These will be completed in hard copy and handed to the exam invigilator on the day of the exam.
6. RTAP and RPL portfolios will still be completed online – no hard copy submissions will be accepted for marking.
7. RTAP students only need to upload the dissertation – no upload of a PoE is required, only the dissertation.
8. The RPL portfolio structure has changed where students will complete 2 x online timed tests and upload a scanned assignment.
9. All uploads can now be amended by students as needed until the 09:00 deadline on the day of submission – they no longer have to log a request with the ICB for changes.
10. College administrators can add themselves to MACCI via Provider Portal (Staff MACCI Registration Tab) to monitor their students’ progress.
11. Providers will not have access to Assignments instead of Tests on the Provider Portal, as tests are all completed online from April 2020 – please use the Portfolio Downloads tab.

Assignments for all subjects, excluding RPL and RTAP, need to be handed back in hard copy on the day of the exam. Only RPL and RTAP subjects must be submitted online.

Tests are completed and marked online with immediate feedback available.

1. Face-to-Face students have immediate access to their portfolios when registered by their College and distance students have immediate access once their payment has been received and processed. Please ensure to include your student number and/or ID number when payment is made.
2. It can be accessed anywhere and anytime, provided you have a stable internet connection.
3. Tests are completed online with an immediate mark – no more marking for  your team which allows them to immediately identify your or your student’s progress.
4. And to combat plagiarism – all test questions are random which means a student will not be able to tell another student the answer to question 3 for example. Question 3 will be a different question in student no 2’s test.
5. Your lecturers and administrators get access to the students profiles on MACCI to monitor their progress live.
