BTECs are made up of a number of units, which are usually assessed through assignments that are both set and marked by your teacher or course tutor. However, Anatomy and Physiology contains an externally set examination. Fitness Training and Programming for Health is also an externally assessed piece of coursework. Assignments can include tests, research, essays, projects, investigations, and often link theory with practice. As you are assessed throughout your course, you can analyze and improve your performance in the same way as you would in a workplace.
