agree  Victoria Britten: To me, it sounds as though this course, or part of it, is made up of 10 modules, all of which must be completed in order for a pass to be awarded

the satisfactory completion of 10 required units


Explanation:
Do you happen to know the student's level of education (primary, secondary, tertiary)?

Concerning higher education in the US, classes are generally categorized as required courses (called "core courses" or "general education courses"), elective courses and sometimes major-specific courses. Essentially, students are required to complete a specific number of units within these categories to fulfill the requirements of a major program and obtain an Associate's (two-year degree) or Bachelor's degree (four-year degree).

In general, the terms used to refer to these are called "required units," "elective units" or "major units" (with some variation).

I think the meaning suggests a program "consisting of 10 units/credits/courses to be satisfactorily completed and proposed by the student in fulfillment of school/degree/major/course requirements."
