Assessment

Diploma students will undertake 12 units over two years. This course includes external assessment and internal assessment. External assessment will include written exams taken in exam conditions. Internal assessment is coursework that is completed during lesson time and assessed by teachers. While work experience is not a mandatory part of the course, it is expected that students will undertake a work placement in an approved health or social care setting in order to support their learning and applications for university or higher-level apprenticeships.
