Access course unit 0 credits

On my access course I have a unit worth 0 credits? Is this just a practice unit? It is unit 1

Hi, I have just completed an access course. My course was 20 assignments, each with a weight of 3 credits. However, 15 assignments were also graded at pass, merit or distinction, and 5 were ungraded assignments in which they just had to be achieved. In total the course amounted to 60 credits, 45 of which graded. I hope this helps.

For my course the first 5 units are ungraded, so they all get "achieved" score.
First three units are to ensure you read the coursebook, know how to reference theories and help you with the time management.
Unit 4 and 5 are subject related (biology and chemistry for me) and are there to ease you into self-studying and writing and submitting on time.
