How you'll be assessed

Assessment takes place formatively throughout the course. Learning is supported through the use of detailed briefs and starting points which allow for differentiated learning outcomes. Tutorials are key to assessing student progress and identifying how to progress. The units are formally assessed at the end of the year and the marks submitted to the board. The work is then moderated by an exam board representative.
