Course summary

If you are looking for a course that will give you excellent progression of knowledge, understanding and design/making skills, then A-Level Design Technology is the course for you. It provides you with a coherent experience of moving from the breadth of the GCSE to the specialisation depth of A-Level and beyond. The specification provides students with design skills for the future so that they are able to recognise design needs and develop an understanding of how current global issues, including integrating technology, impacts on today’s world. Students will be encouraged to take design risks and innovate in a situation where it is safe to test and refine ideas, giving them the confidence at A-Level to further develop these skills in their own design brief with a client/end user.
