How will I learn?

A selection of assignments and homework will be set to cover the units, with deadline dates for completion of work staggered over the duration of the course. Deadlines set for all homework and assignments must be strictly adhered to so good time management skills are essential.

How will I be assessed?
All units are assessed internally by your teachers and then moderated by the board. There are NO exams. Your work will be graded pass, merit or distinction. Pass gives you 40 UCAS points, merit gives you 80 and distinction gives you 120.
