Assessment

Assessment is a combination of internal and external assessments. In year 1 there will be one internally assessed coursework unit and one externally assessed timed controlled assessment. In year 2 there is one internally assessed coursework unit and one examination. This is similar to BTEC Level 2 courses that you may have studied in school. Evidence for assessment includes portfolio work, research/written assignments, business presentations and video/observations of practical sessions. These are all graded at Pass, Merit and Distinction. All units are assessed individually and the final grade is an aggregate of the unit grades achieved in all of the units covered.
