Assessment

There are two externally assessed units. Unit 1 has a written exam and Unit 2 is assessed by a set task. You will also produce a portfolio of coursework that will be assessed regularly. A grading scale of Pass, Merit, or Distinction is applied to all internally assessed units. Your portfolio of evidence will show that you have met all of the assessment objectives. This will be evidenced through practical assignments, oral presentations/ demonstrations, written reports, and project work. Submission deadlines are set throughout the year. You will need to ensure that you are organized and enjoy spending time working through a range of individual tasks.
