Other Information:
The NVQ part of the course is assessed through completion of a portfolio of evidence collected from a long-term period of unpaid work experience. This opportunity is arranged by the college to suit individual student needs. The IT and word processing qualifications are assessed through assignments and external examinations. After initial assessment students may be offered additional support. If you are 16-19 you must also take part in the Curriculum 2000 programme and this will be additional hours to the normal programme. Relevant work placements will take place in the 2nd and 3rd terms.
