Design and Technology (Product Design)

Assessment

The course is divided into two main parts: • Core technical principles • Core designing and making principles Both of these parts will be assessed in the final examination. A-Level students will sit two papers, one lasting 2 hours that will cover core technical principles and one lasting 1 hour 30 minutes that will cover core designing and making principles. These papers will combine to make up 50 percent of the A Level qualification. The other 50 percent is for the non-examined assessment (NEA) design and make project you will complete.
