Assessment

Students will choose their own unique set of units which each have a certain credit value. They must reach 90 credits to gain the qualification, which is typically around six units. As a vocational course, there is no exam so this course is ideal for those who struggle with exam pressures. Students build up a portfolio of evidence for each unit which is then submitted in Year 13, so assessment is an ongoing process over the course. Evidence can be written but also videos or sound recordings or work or performances and other things such as programmes, photos, stage designs, set lists, project diaries etc.
