5: Excellent.
Exceeds the required criteria.

If one or more of the criteria is rated below 3, an alternative learning process shall be requested by the competent authority in order to enhance the suitability of the product to an acceptable level.
4.
Once the competent authority has rated each of the individual criteria listed in Table (A), the following combined rating scale shall be used by the competent authority to determine the overall suitability level for each MBT learning resource: — 100–80: Excellent learning resource.
It offers different functionalities and meets the required suitability criteria. — 79–60: The learning resource meets the required suitability criteria. — 59–40: The learning resource does not allow for a sufficiently worthy educational use.
It can be used for ‘informal’ training only. — 39–20: The learning resource is below the average.
It does not meet several required suitability criteria.
Before approving the product, the competent authority shall check that the final score of the MBT is equal to or above 60, and that there is no single criterion that is rated below 3.
