Key Features
- Simple qualification structures minimise the number of assessments students are required to complete.
- Clear, straightforward specifications that set out what students need to know, understand and be able to do.
- A minimum of 60% non-examination assessment (NEA), providing students with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and understanding through practical and engaging tasks.
- Mark-based awarding - this means that learners can still achieve the qualification if they don’t perform well in a particular assessment, providing their performance in another unit compensates for this.
- Course Companion textbook available for each qualification covering the knowledge and skills learners will need as they progress through the course.
