Assessment

This BTEC has been designed as part of a two-year programme, and is normally taken in conjunction with one or more A-Levels depending on the course selected. The Extended Certificate is equivalent in study time to one A-Level and consists of four teaching units (three mandatory and one optional) while the Diploma equates to two A-Levels consisting of nine units (six mandatory plus three optional). Pupils will be assessed through internal assignments that may be both written and practically based, externally assessed units that are set and marked by Pearson and written examinations.
