How will it be delivered and assessed?

Two externally set exams covering knowledge from the engineering common core.


An employer-set project that will consist of a well-defined, real industry-style brief. The brief will be complex and non-routine and will require the use of relevant Maths, English and digital skills. The brief will give you the chance to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the core content and your core skills to solve problems that could occur in the work place.


An occupational specialism assessment which is composed of a series of practical tasks relating to the specialism at hand. This will take place over a period of time, which will be confirmed when you start your course. By nature of the considerable practical elements, the tasks will generate significant evidence and you will be assessed by an Internal Assessor.
