Design and Technology at advanced Level is all about students developing their personal capability and taking responsibility for decisions about their own work. Throughout the course common skills, such as graphical communication, computer aided designing (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will be developed through a combination of core and individual task activities.
General Entry Criteria: An APS (average GCSE point score) of greater than 4.5 drawn from all GCSE results (from a minimum of 6 entries). Either Maths Grade 4 and/or English Language or Literature Grade 4. Note: Only one BTEC or GCSE equivalent vocational course may be counted. ECDL or similar non-GCSE equivalent courses do not count for 6th Form entry. For Product Design you will also require a Grade 5 in GCSE Design (if taken).
The course has 50 per cent coursework in addition to a written examination.
