Assessment

Students undertake 8 units to complete the programme of study. This includes three exam units that will be externally assessed and 5 coursework units that will be internally assessed. Students will receive 2 grades on completion of the qualification. This is equivalent to 2 A-Levels. Internally assessed course work units will be marked by the subject teacher and subject to internal and external verification. Students will be provided with BTEC assessment guidelines to ensure that they are fully aware of how to meet coursework criteria. Externally assessed units will be assessed through formal external examinations in the summer of Year 12 and a controlled assessment in Year 13.
