For each qualification separately, the pass threshold is 75% and is applied individually to each validation method.
Poland / EFS+ GCCS qualifications are internationally issued across six European countries and are referenced to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).

GCCS requirements for the validation process
Each learning outcome must be assigned a validation method in accordance with its category. GCCS requires a clear and consistent distinction between methods used to verify theoretical understanding and methods used to verify practical performance or behavioural outcomes. In all cases, a minimum of two validation methods is applied — no single method may be used in isolation.
Theoretical understanding outcomes
Outcomes in this category must be assigned to the Theoretical test, as this method is the most appropriate for verifying theoretical understanding.
Practical and behavioural outcomes
Outcomes in these categories must be assigned to the second validation method — such as analysis, observation, or interview — because these methods are more suitable for verifying practical performance, applied actions, communication, decision-making, or behaviour in context.
