Assessments are conducted using a wide variety of methods enabling you to showcase your practical skills and understanding of the subject area. You will be assessed through written and practical examinations, employer projects, group work, presentations and analysis. This could involve technology projects, individual research, group work, project work and performance support. On successful completion of the course, you will receive a qualification equivalent to three A Levels.
The practical assessments have been developed in accordance with the needs of employers and our local industry in order to provide the best opportunity for progression.

During the industry placement, you need to complete between 315 and 420 hours across the two years, which will fit around your in-class studies.
